Virginia Union University STEM Education for Pre Service Educators 1Kaiem 1Department Abstract of Mathematics Virginia Union University, 2 School District of Philadelphia, 3 SC Philly Fund, 4 Elizabeth City State University Best Practices The Virginia Union University STEM Education collaboration focuses on the preparation of the next generation of pre-service educators to address the pedagogy of climate change education, with an emphasis on how to address climate change at faith base institutions in the demographic of Minority Serving Institutions (MSI). Through partnership with NASA, ECSU, UNH, VUU and other partnering institutions and or agencies we present on best practices and lessons learned on the campus of Virginia Union University. The presentation of best practices should serve as a direct indicator to address pedagogical needs to include climate education within K-12 curriculum. Using technology-based delivery systems with moderation Seven Principles for Good Practices Lessons Learned CHALLENGES •ADMINISTRATION COMMUNICATION Encourage Student-Faculty Interactions •DIVERSITY OF ADMINISTRATION BACKGROUND Promote active learning (social interaction) •TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE AND CLIMATE CHANGE •DEPARTMENT, SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY GOALS ALIGNMENT WITH NASA NICE GOALS Respect diverse talents and ways of learning Introducing activities based on appropriate learning theories Cooperative and Collaborative learning activities Frink, 3,4 Aamir Rasheed, 2 Paula Crawford, 1Kalota Stewart Gurley, 4 Ervin Howard, •TIME ALLOTMENT FOR COURSES •TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES High expectations by learners (extra effort) •NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS •LOCAL POLITICAL PARTY Promote prompt feedback to students •FACULTY BUY IN (Chickering & Gamson 1999) UNDERMINING Some of the strategies will include inquiry, direct instructions, and cooperative learning. At this particular workshop, we have learned about global climate change in regards to how this is going to impact our life. Participants have been charged to increase the scientific understanding of pre-service teachers education programs nationally to incorporate climate education lessons.

The Virginia Union University (VUU) program has done an effective job exposing underserved students to STEM related fields and practices. VUU will continue to support secondary students and prepare them for the rigorous, yet engaging content of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. References •Arendale, D.R. (2010).
