STEP Program Overview: The Georgia Tech Student and Teacher Enhancement
Partnership (STEP) Program partners advanced Undergraduate and Graduate
Students Fellows with metro-Atlanta area high school teams that are led
by master teacher-coordinators. The program seeks to improve the
teaching-related communication and leadership skills of Georgia Tech
students and to use the exceptional scholarly expertise available at
Georgia Tech to assist in increasing the mathematics and science
performance of Atlanta-area school students. STEP Fellows (graduate
students) and Interns (undergraduates) participate in summer training
workshops to familiarize them with inquiry-based learning pedagogy,
classroom management and effective teaching skills, and appropriate uses
of educational technologies. They also work with high school personnel
to develop a needs assessment and action plan for the school. During the
school year they work in teams (each having at least two Georgia Tech
students) with their partner school, choosing activities from a menu of
options that includes: 1) Student instruction, 2) Teacher professional
development, 3) Student enrichment and mentoring, 4) Implementation of
classroom websites, 5) Science fair project assistance, and 6) Georgia
Tech lab tours.


Please pass on to fellow students!!  Reply to this email if you have
questions.

Thanks,

Maureen Biggers, Mark Guzdial, Amy Bruckman, Barb Ericson
