STEM teaching: a laboratory experiment with a teacher helping students

About

STEM Learning is the largest provider of education and careers support in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Our online courses give teachers, technicians and volunteers the ability to take professional development into their own hands and learn wherever and whenever suits their busy schedule.

Our flexible and collaborative courses are created by leading experts and experienced educators. Whether you are newly qualified, an experienced teacher or a STEM Ambassador, we’ll help you engage, inspire and progress the learning of your pupils and students.

Connect with other teachers to discuss your lessons, ask world-leading educators about teaching techniques, and benefit from a dedicated mentoring team of STEM specialists. We’ll support you to reflect on your practice and take what you learn back into the classroom. Every course includes examples from experienced teachers and high-quality footage from real classrooms, to develop your teaching and consequentially improve your students’ learning.

We are constantly developing new online CPD to meet your needs. Join our courses below or complete our programs:
- Formative teaching strategies (for all STEM teachers) [forthcoming program]
- Teaching practical science (for teachers of students aged 14-16 years old)
- Inspiring Young People in STEM (for STEM Ambassadors)
