Super fun professional development for Elementary iSTEM with @JeanneBrunner this past weekend, and it was exciting to have some of our former pre-service teachers (and now in-service teachers) there too! @umasseduc @UMassAmherst

Last Saturday's #umasseduc Elementary iSTEM workshop presented by @JeanneBrunner and @DarrellEarnest was a big success! Thanks to all of the teachers who came out to make sense of data and explore hands-on projects to teach math and science in engaging ways. #stem #teaching
