AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Washington, DC, Apr 8-12, 2016)
The MSU-Wipro UrbanSTEM & Leadership fellowship program was formed to enhance teaching and leadership capacities of teachers in a large urban school district. The program is built on Technical and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) and its instructional approach uses the power of experience (Dewey, 1938) involving real world engagement with tools and pedagogies in STEM constructs. The effectiveness of the program was measured using a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. Utilizing a repeated measures design, we evaluated the impact of the program on the teacher participants to develop a classroom experience that enhances learning. We found a significant difference in teacher efficacy, educational leadership, and the integration of technology into classroom practices.
