The STEM Teaching Tools site has tools that can help you teach science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). We are currently focused on supporting the teaching of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Each tool is focused on a specific issue and leverages the best knowledge from research and practice. Under the News section, you can learn a bit more about how you might use them. This article provides background on this effort. Review more resources in our Tools area and check out the online "short courses" shown below.


Current Highlight from the Tools section

Elevating the cultural wealth of multilingual students, families, and communities in climate justice education


We have posted our bookmarks online for you to print yourself. They offer a concise list of the science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and key definitions for easy reference as you familiarize yourself with the NGSS. Download the PDF: Single STT Bookmark and the PDF: Printable Page of STT Bookmarks (select "Actual Size" rather than "Fit to Page" when printing)
