Due to the recent global pandemic, educators of science and
technology have had to pivot and adapt their delivery to create
alternative virtual means of delivery. The COVID-19 pandemic has
influenced a rapid change in teaching and learning in higher
education. It is reshaping curriculum demands, the 21st century
digital competence challenges, and learning technologies. These
changes in education are likely to endure well past the COVID-19
pandemic, making it crucial for educators to consider teaching and
learning under the perspectives of digital education and
innovation. Advancing STEM Education and Innovation in a Time of
Distance Learning highlights the contemporary trends and challenges
in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering education. The
chapters present findings and discussions of relevant research
studies and theoretical frameworks for the provision of science,
technology, engineering, and technical subjects. It not only
presents successful practice examples from before and during the
COVID-19 pandemic, but also provides useful information to assist
educators in understanding the demands and challenges of digital
education. Covering topics such as ethnically diverse students,
foreign language learning, and mobile gamification, this premier
reference source is an essential resource for educators and
administrators of both K-12 and higher education, pre-service
teachers, teacher educators, librarians, government officials,
researchers, and academicians.
There is a critical need to prepare diverse teachers with expertise
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) with
the skills necessary to work effectively with underrepresented K-12
students. Three major goals of funded STEM programs are to attract
and prepare students at all educational levels to pursue coursework
in the STEM content areas, to prepare graduates to pursue careers
in STEM fields, and to improve teacher education programs in the
STEM content areas. Drawing upon these goals as the framework for
Recruiting, Preparing, and Retaining STEM Teachers for a Global
Generation, the 15 chapters contained herein highlight both the
challenges and successes of recruiting, preparing, and sustaining
novice teachers in the STEM content areas in high-need schools.
Recruiting, retaining and sustaining highly-qualified teachers with
expertise in STEM content areas to work in hard-to-staff schools
and geographic areas are necessary to equalize educational
opportunities for rural and urban Title 1 students. High teacher
turnover rates, in combination with teachers working out-of-field,
leave many students without highly-qualified teachers in STEM
fields. Most of the chapters in this volume were prepared by
scholars who received NSF funding through Noyce and are engaged in
addressing research questions related to these endeavours.

Live from the Crypt is an hilarious information series with an
undead chat show format where ghostly historical figures are
interviewed by the crew of the show about their lives and
experiences, featuring quirky illustrations, comic strips and play
script-style text. In this volume, famous women scientists from
throughout modern history, including Marie Curie, Elizabeth
Blackwell, Janaki Ammal and Gertrude B. Elion, are interviewed
about their ground-breaking experiments and mind-blowing
discoveries.
STEM of Desire: Queer Theories and Science Education locates,
creates, and investigates intersections of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and queer theorizing.
Manifold desires-personal, political, cultural-produce and animate
STEM education. Queer theories instigate and explore
(im)possibilities for knowing and being through desires normal and
strange. The provocative original manuscripts in this collection
draw on queer theories and allied perspectives to trace
entanglements of STEM education, sex, sexuality, gender, and desire
and to advance constructive critique, creative world-making, and
(com)passionate advocacy. Not just another call for inclusion, this
volume turns to what and how STEM education and diverse, desiring
subjects might be(come) in relation to each other and the world.
STEM of Desire is the first book-length project on queering STEM
education. Eighteen chapters and two poems by 27 contributors
consider STEM education in schools and universities, museums and
other informal learning environments, and everyday life. Subject
areas include physical and life sciences, engineering, mathematics,
nursing and medicine, environmental education, early childhood
education, teacher education, and education standards. These
queering orientations to theory, research, and practice will
interest STEM teacher educators, teachers and professors,
undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, policy makers, and
academic libraries. Contributors are: Jesse Bazzul, Charlotte
