I gained a lot from this course--the main things that would put it at 5 star would be to have more interaction with peers through discussion, synchronous time, and outside alumni social media group, and/or a cohort. However, I knew what type of format it was going in. I had many opportunities to reflect on and refine my STEM practices. The instructor was very responsive.

This asynchronous course is a must for any science teacher looking to integrate more STEM into their classroom. It is completely flexible and ideal for busy educators-we are all incredibly busy. The course materials were relevant, engaging, and user-friendly. I have already implemented one lesson and am revising several more. Interacting with teachers from across the country provided valuable new ideas and perspectives. I highly recommend this course to educators!

Best class I've ever taken in terms of usability in my classroom. I could immediately implement aspects of every lesson as they were completed. Also the book is such an incredible resource. STEM is being taught by the math & science teachers in my school this upcoming year for the first time ever. The other two teachers have no STEM training at all. I plan to give them each of copy of the textbook (and of course recommend they take this course).

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the class prompts. I was able to read the book cover to cover and then work through the lessons. Each lesson challenged me to reference back to the book and findings. I appreciate the additional new resources. And I particularly liked the last assignment of reflection. It allowed me to look through the book another time, but after having submitted the other assignments. I was able to highlight the findings I want to use and share with others.

I have been teaching in a STEM or Engineering Tech class for 10 years and I think the course was well intentioned but was more geared towards those just starting out. I wish I had found this course 10 years ago! For me, this course helped refresh my approach to my classes, methods and students. I also found parts of the text more useful than I expected. In the end, I took away some good ideas, some positive reinforcement of my current practice and a good feeling about other teachers out there who are following the STEM path.

The instructor set up a course that was had a good variety of lesson types which were all focused on inspiring and teaching students how to breathe life into their pedagogy with STEM teaching. The instructor provided insightful and encouraging feedback that was timely and thoughtful. This was one of my favorite courses I've taken through Fresno and will be back for more!

This was a great course! I learned what STEM is and what skills it brings into my classroom. I am so excited to continue teaching STEM in my first grade class. I have so many ideas.
