STEM Content Knowledge and Affect in the K-16 Classroom
About This Webinar
National discourse on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) urges educators to attend to the growing demand for a STEM-literate populace. But, what is "STEM-literacy," and how do we, as educators, cultivate opportunities for students to enhance their STEM-literacy, as well as their STEM content knowledge and affect? In this session, I will share action research (conducted at the university and high school levels) that aims to understand the impact of engineering modules on students' cognition and affect. I will share the framework for STEM-literacy and affect, as well as the data collection tools and analysis methods that can be adapted for use in your classroom.

I am a mother, wife and math teacher. I currently teach at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA and my favorite class to teach is statistics! This is my 27th year of teaching and I am a Desmos fellow and Desmos certified presenter. @mathteacher24 is my twitter handle and I blog at mathteacher24.blogspot.com. I have several tech related videos for stat and TI-NSpire at www.youtube.com/mathteacher24. Feel free to ask me questions about National Board Certification (renewed in 2015). I also enjoy singing, reading and staying fit using workouts from Beachbody (P90X3/TurboFire/21DFX).

Dr. Evelyn Laffey is a graduate of Rutgers University, where she earned her doctorate in mathematics education and bachelor’s in mathematics. Dr. Laffey’s research and teaching explore the intersection of STEM content knowledge, affect, and identity with the goal of advancing equity in STEM. Prior to joining Kent Place School in 2018, Dr. Laffey worked at Princeton University and Rutgers University to advance in- and out-of-classroom opportunities for all students to enhance their STEM-literacy. At Kent Place, she teaches Upper School math by engaging students in exploring math in interesting contexts. She also serves as the STEM Coordinator.

Hosted By
The Global Math Department began as a group of teachers who knew each other through Twitter, math education blogs and Twitter Math Camp. Since 2012 The Global Math Department community has grown into a multi-faceted group of math educators who love to share their ideas related to teaching and learning mathematics. We recognize that as educators we are charged with promoting equity and access within mathematics instruction. In addition, we believe it is crucial that teachers be provided with quality resources and ideas that they can use immediately with their students. Lively and friendly conversations in our weekly webinars encourage all participants to share and continue to grow as educators.
