Roles and Effectiveness of K-16 STEM Educators

Fayetteville State University's SITE: Biology Institute

The NC-MSEN has recently initiated the "Statewide Institutes for Teaching Excellence”. SITE: Biology institutes were designed to help teachers more effectively implement the NC Standard Course of Study in biology. FSU's MSEN Center offered this institute during the summer of 2007. SITE: Biology integrated reading strategies, misconception awareness and concept mapping, as instructional tools. Changes in teacher content knowledge was evaluated through pre/post content tests, classroom practice through an implementation survey, implementation project and institute effectiveness survey.
