Roles and Effectiveness of K-16 STEM Educators
Collaboration Works: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Environmental Science for Teachers
Using a PRISM mini-grant we funded and developed a team-taught Environmental Science course for teachers that took place completely out-of-doors. One instructor taught the environmental content, the other instructor taught methodologies to disseminate the content to the classroom. We found that interdisciplinary team-teaching is very effective in teacher education and strengthening teacher self-confidence. We also confirmed that the outdoors is the most appropriate setting for generating successful learning about the environment.
