START for TEACHERS
The START Teacher Scholar Program helps STEM teachers tailor instruction for underrepresented populations via support systems at the University of Kentucky. START provides financial sponsorship for UK STEM Teacher Workshops, which feature unique, integrated sessions designed and delivered by faculty experts in STEM education, modeling and connecting to culturally relevant teaching practices with an explicit focus on aligning the work to the Kentucky Academic Standards (similar to NGSS and CCSSM). All teachers are heavily engaged with these standards and practices in the workshops. Contact START to inquire about sponsorship and attendance.
Teachers can also contact START to gain authentic research lab experiences year round and gain access to a variety of additional opportunities for professional growth and networking within the STEM community.
