What is STEM TQ?
The STEM Teacher Quality (TQ) Institute is an exciting, professional learning program specifically designed for K-8 teachers who teach and integrate science, technology, engineering, and math into their curriculum.
This innovative program brings together teams of teachers for monthly learning opportunities throughout the year. Here you will learn the critical foundation and mindset that all educators need for bringing STEM into the classroom. Furthermore, you will gain confidence as your STEM capabilities grow. You will also see students develop into critical thinkers and problem solvers as they master STEM concepts.

How Can I Participate in STEM TQ?
