WakeEd Partnership
WakeEd Partnership is a unique education non-profit that focuses on transforming teaching and leadership models in Wake County Public Schools. One example of who they do that is the Summer STEM Program and STEMposium.
Teachers are paired with businesses for 5 days of immersion and training in project-based learning. Teacher take what they learn to the classroom, and along with their students come up with questions they can explore in a project. The work all culminates in May with STEMposium where teachers and students display and discuss their projects.
