In 2017, SVA commissioned the University of Canberra to research the most effective strategies for STEM teaching and learning. The paper, entitled ‘STEM Education for all young Australians’, has since been shared widely and a number of schools within the SVA Bright Spots Schools Connection network have applied and trialled elements of this paper within their contexts.

Following such a positive reception, a companion paper has also been written. It highlights how three schools, each with a particularly unique context, have developed students’ capabilities through the three key practices that underpin STEM – ideas, values and methods. This second paper, STEM Education in Practice, provides even greater insight into the application of these principles.

We invite you to learn more about the first paper, listen to the podcast or read the full paper.
