STEM PD Community of Practice (STEM CoP)<\/strong>, founded in 2019 as an outcome of the STEM PD Net project, is an independent body of the network. Its<\/span> overall aim is to provide a platform for knowledge exchange among its participants. Through each of its members, the network aims to substantially improve STEM education in schools on a day-to-day basis by investing in teacher professional development. This means ensuring that the design, provision, and delivery of STEM professional development are of the highest quality, research-based, and aligned with teachers\u2019 needs. The network\u2019s aims and activities, as currently defined, are geared towards supporting these goals.<\/p>\n

Teacher Professional Development Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

STEM PD Community of Practice (STEM CoP) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from around the world to discuss issues related to education. STEM CoP develops STEM Curricula and runs STEM PD programs in different countries. STEM CoP also publishes journals and books<\/a> in STEM education.<\/span><\/p>\n

STEM CoP organises the “International STEM Education Conference”, and <\/span>its\u00a0social media channels<\/a>\u00a0provide resources\u00a0to teachers, initiating an online forum for teachers and lecturers. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
