Abstract
Based on the need for schools to improve students’ capabilities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and to develop students’ 21st Century skills, school systems are implementing a range of STEM education initiatives. As there is no STEM curriculum in many countries, teachers are faced with designing new lessons and new subjects as well as developing new learning approaches. While secondary school teachers may have expertise in one of the STEM subjects, few have expertise in more than one so the need for professional learning support is critical to the success of such initiatives. A group of experts at the University of Sydney has developed one program that has produced positive outcomes for teachers and students. Members of the group from the STEM Teacher Enrichment Academy work with school teams to help them identify a clear purpose for their STEM initiative, to design a program to address the purpose and to support them in implementing and evaluating the program with their students.
