Evidence-informed approaches to STEM learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The strand will draw on ideas from research with reference made to literature throughout and set ideas within practical and practice focused STEM contexts so that these can be translated immediately into the classroom to support and develop\u00a0 teachers\u2019\u00a0 practice.\u00a0 At the end of each session teacher fellows will be set a challenge to develop, trial and evaluate ways of teaching their subject related to the ideas covered in the session. Teachers\u2019 feedback and reflections from classroom implementation will be built into subsequent sessions\u00a0 to support teacher fellows learning from each other, and the different contexts and subjects they teach. In this way teachers\u2019 learning will be enquiry-driven and sustained.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers will increase their understanding of key areas of focus including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>teaching for conceptual understanding<\/li>\n<li>supporting students to own their learning<\/li>\n<li>the power of talk in the STEM classroom<\/li>\n<li>eliciting evidence from\u00a0 learners about their thinking<\/li>\n<li>checking for conceptual understanding, in particular misconceptions and difficulties pupils may hold in relations to STEM concepts<\/li>\n<li>teacher responsiveness including scaffolding approaches for pupils learning in STEM<\/li>\n<li>nurturing a positive culture in STEM classrooms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>2. Understanding STEM\u00a0 practice through research and enquiry<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In this strand, teachers will work together with staff from SIOE, experts in particular subject areas and representatives of local STEM industries to develop, trial, evaluate and disseminate new approaches to the curriculum.\u00a0\u00a0 Inputs will be provided on key themes, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>identifying a focus for an enquiry<\/li>\n<li>defining enquiry objectives<\/li>\n<li>engaging with relevant literature<\/li>\n<li>considering ethical issues<\/li>\n<li>gathering and analysing data<\/li>\n<li>drawing conclusions<\/li>\n<li>communicating findings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the support of SIoE staff teachers will identify areas of practice they wish to improve. This may be an idea or approach from Strand 1 or they may explore other areas of interest. Working in a supported practitioner research model, each teacher will draw on the evidence and expertise of colleagues and STEM collaborators to develop and trial new approaches, which may be classroom-based or operate outside the classroom, for example through visits to STEM industrial sites. Each teacher will be supported throughout their research project by staff from SIOE, including input on\u00a0 models of dissemination so that teachers are supported to share their learning with other participants. This strand will include vignettes of STEM researchers\u2019 practice in education and industry.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Developing STEM leaders<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This builds on strands 1 and 2, where teachers will have the opportunity to try out ideas in their own classrooms. However, no matter how good an idea or intervention is in principle, success depends on how it manifests itself in day-to-day practice in schools. Therefore, the aim of Strand 3 is to introduce the knowledge, skills and behaviours associated with effective STEM leadership to enable teachers to influence others and share effective practice across school.<\/p>\n<p>All participants will be supported to develop their leadership skills via school-based activity culminating in a small-scale leadership project. Input will be provided on four key themes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>leading self<\/li>\n<li>leading others<\/li>\n<li>leading change<\/li>\n<li>leading school improvement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>4. Individualised support through mentoring<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Multiple studies show that mentoring has an impact on teachers\u2019 feelings of self-efficacy and that this in turn leads to greater professional satisfaction and likelihood of staying in the profession. The impact of mentoring is often enhanced when it is undertaken by somebody external to the school. Each early career teacher will therefore be allocated an expert STEM teacher mentor from a nearby school. The teacher and their mentor will follow an individualised, structured programme of support. Mentoring meetings will take place approximately once a month over the 18 months of the programme, totalling around six full days of mentoring support. Mentoring meetings will take place face-to-face or online\u00a0 at a time and location to suit the early career teacher and their mentor. Crucially, mentors will also receive support to develop their skills (Strand 5).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information or to express an interest in joining the programme, get in touch by email at\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:WiproTeacherFellow@shu.ac.uk\"><strong>WiproTeacherFellow@shu.ac.uk<\/strong><\/a><strong>, by phone on 0114 2256060 or via X\/Twitter\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeacherFellow\"><strong>@teacherfellow<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Wipro Teacher Fellow Programme includes interlinking, complementary strands of professional learning for at teachers in the early stages of teaching mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, maths, computer science, design and technology or engineering.
