Elevating Future STEM Educators
The Center for STEM Teaching and Learning (CSTL) at Northern Arizona University is dedicated to strengthening STEM education by empowering educators with the tools, confidence, and curiosity to bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life in their classrooms. CSTL helps spark interest and self-assurance in educators—especially those who may feel hesitant about teaching STEM subjects—by translating cutting-edge research into practical, engaging teaching strategies.
At a time when STEM education funding has been reduced by as much as 75–90% across agencies, this work is more important than ever to ensure educators are prepared to inspire the next generation.
