Trans-national STEM teacher education focusing on transversal competence and sustainability education

The goal of acaSTEMy is to develop a systemic support structure for high-quality, research-based STEM teacher education from pre-service education to continuing professional development (CPD) that includes mobility as an essential building block. The project envisions transversally competent and motivated STEM teachers who are well equipped to prepare students for their future careers.
To reach its objectives, the acaSTEMy project plans to:
• Develop, pilot and promote various distance and blended learning models in combination with international mobility and mentorship
• Improve STEM teachers’ digital competences for meaningful pedagogies
• Support the competences and pedagogies of STEM teachers for sustainable and up-to-date education by developing CPD courses to address a) major challenges, such as environmental sustainability, green deal, global health and immigration and b) methodological aspects, such as teaching diverse classes, combating science anxiety, and fostering gender-sensitive teaching
