The PEF Innovation Hub is celebrating 9 years of the STEM Teaching Fellows program! Join us to hear from these incredible educators. The PEF Innovation Hub is celebrating 9 years of the STEM Teaching Fellows program!  On May 12th, 2022, STEM Fellows, administrators, and community and business leaders will join together for an exciting evening to enjoy hors d'oeuvres, networking, and the opportunity to learn about innovative work being done in our public schools as a result of this Fellowship.   The STEM Teaching Fellows program is an annual cohort of Southeast Tennessee educators from across the region who engage in a year of professional development activities focused on STEM best practices and workforce development. These teachers become leaders for their schools and districts, developing innovative instructions strategies and building community partnerships as resources for their students and colleagues.  Over the course of the year, members of the cohort receive training and coaching on best practices in problem-based learning, inquiry teaching, cross-curriculum integration and technology integration.  Working with leaders from business and post-secondary education, the Fellows develop STEM lessons and projects for immediate implementation in the classroom.     The Tennessee STEM Innovation Network and the Public Education Foundation of Chattanooga created the STEM Innovation Hub to provide development, amplification, and leadership experiences for teachers, principals, parents, and staff from community organizations. ​ The Public Education Foundation serves as the managing partner of the Hub, acting as both the fiscal agent and driving force to create a center where teachers, principals, non-profit organizations, and leaders from business and industry work together to redesign how our children learn. The hub has emerged as an innovative entity that provides unique opportunities for stakeholders to identify and develop revolutionary educational strategies that help prepare students to thrive.
