Quality Instruction Matters
STEMscopes believes the most important strategy schools can use to significantly increase student learning is the quality of instruction. Students flourish when teachers deeply understand the content, best teaching practices, and the use of available instructional resources.
Professional Development Tailored to Your Needs
50 years of educational research has shown the overwhelming impact of teacher quality on student learning for their subsequent two to three academic years. More recent research has extended that impact to also include college attendance and adult earnings. Teaching quality has a significant impact on students’ lives long after they leave an individual teacher’s classroom.

Closing learning gaps and preparing students for an increasingly ambiguous and challenging future is more dependent on quality teaching than any other variable.
And today’s highest quality teachers fluently integrate the most powerful STEM instructional strategies into their existing practice.
Professional learning strategies
Professional learning strategies
STEMscopes, in partnership with the National Institute for STEM Education (NISE), provides professional learning services that help educators become increasingly effective in their work with students. We focus on evidence-based instructional strategies that strengthen student learning across content areas, while simultaneously nurturing the attitudes and skills fundamental to success in today’s increasingly complex STEM world.
While teachers of traditional STEM content areas readily acknowledge the importance of their students being engaged in critical thinking, productive disagreement, evidence-based discourse, authentic learning, and other «STEM» instructional strategies, we believe these strategies are important for all students, across all content areas and grade levels.
