Professional Development
Engineering is a new discipline for elementary school teachers. To foster understanding of engineering and technology content and pedagogy, the Engineering is Elementary project offers professional development workshops and resources for elementary school educators. These sessions introduce teachers to engineering concepts and skills, review the structure and philosophy shaping the curricular materials, engage participants in curricular activities, and foster reflection about appropriate instructional strategies.

"When I first started this project and I saw the word 'engineering', I thought 'oh boy- I don't know anything about that. How can I teach it to my kids?' Now I realize that I was already doing so much teaching that included many of those same ideas like with our science and math units and even social studies."
