    Developing teacher professional resilience through place based education and mentoring
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017) Wright, DeeDee, author; Balgopal, Meena, author; Weinberg, Andrea, author
    Historically in the US, some students are underrepresented in STEM fields. Quality STEM teachers can advance efforts to close these gaps. However, 17-50% of teachers leave within the first 5 years. The goal of the project is to develop resilient teachers by providing tools to be successful as they encounter a dynamic education landscape. This will be accomplished using a two-pronged approach of mentoring and place-based education curriculum. The proposed project will take a novel approach examining human interaction between teachers and the education community through a social ecological systems framework. We predict this model will increase STEM teacher resilience.
