Abstract for the conference program
At Georgia College, implementation of the USG STEM II Initiative is flourishing, multi-faceted, and built on a rich tradition of excellence in scholarship, teaching, and outreach. The GC STEM Initiative offers faculty opportunities to engage in a vibrant culture that values the scholarship of STEM teaching and learning. Similarly, students are deeply engaged in peer-facilitated supplemental instruction for hundreds of students in entry-level STEM courses or in K12 STEM teacher support in regional classrooms. Between 2007 and 2013, Georgia College observed significant increases in STEM/STEM Education majors and in STEM/STEM education degrees conferred. STEM II at Georgia College has not only made a positive impact on student performance and retention but also has helped support an environment that fosters creativity and innovation as well as institutional, statewide and national recognition of STEM-related work. Supported by USG STEM Initiative.
