Assessing teacher education and professional development needs for the implementation of integrated approaches to STEM education
Research study identifies challenges and supports to implementing integrated STEM education from the perspective of practicing K-12 teachers and administrators. Provides recommendations for redesigning teacher preparation courses.

Core Practices of Teaching: A Primer
This document describes several core practices of teaching, classroom evidence of that practice, and potential challenges to enacting the practice. The resource is suggested as an accompaniment "for teachers using video to improve their practice as facilitators of classroom talk."

TeachingWorks High-Leverage Practices
A website that identifies 19 "high-leverage practices," fundamental capabilities of teaching that supports students' content and social-emotional learning. These HLPs are not grade- or discipline-specific. This is a good list to spark conversation with colleagues (or yourself) when considering course or program outcomes.

Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy: A Needed Change in Stance, Terminology, and Practice
An article that explores culturally sustaining pedagogy as an alternative to culturally responsive or relevant pedagogy.

Problematizing teaching and learning mathematics as "given" in STEM education
This article calls for two shifts in mathematics education: (1) to reframe mathematics, and all of STEM as a sense-making activity rather than a body of content to be learned, or practices to engage in and (2) to simultaneously focus on how students experience the discipline. The TRU Framework (Schoenfeld, 2019) is presented as a tool to assess classroom instruction towards these means.

Teaching Practice: A Cross-Professional Perspective
