Improving STEM learning for all Americans depends on the preparation and development of science teachers who are equipped to translate research-based instructional strategies into meaningful classroom practice. This CAREER project addresses a crucial need in K-12 science teacher education to respond to local school district needs for high-quality science teaching and the role of teacher education programs, particularly at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) but also more broadly at other institutions that prepare STEM teachers, to develop programs that provide prospective teachers the best opportunity for success as science teachers. Specifically, the project aims to advance science teacher education by applying a pragmatic, iterative approach to developing teacher education program resources and tools that will support the implementation of evidence-based STEM teaching and learning practices in K-12 science classrooms. The project will identify evidence-based STEM teaching and learning practices through a systematic review of K-12 STEM education research and resources. Rather than generate new evidence, the project leverages the evidence that already exists to support educators in adapting and sustaining existing high-quality practices that have already demonstrated positive impacts on students' STEM learning. Through close collaboration with teacher candidates, practicing science teachers, and teacher educators, the project will build capacity for instruct
