About the Innovators-in-Residence Program

Each cohort of Innovators is selected with the charge of supporting the development and implementation of quality STEAM curriculum in their assigned school. Whether placed in an elementary, middle or high school, once placed in the school, innovators partner with teachers to design and implement student-centered projects in the classroom, as well as support engaging STEAM-focused afterschool programs. To support the pedagogical development of the innovators, they are required to participate in online problem-based learning training, intensive summer professional development, and bi-weekly cohort meetings. Each innovator is also required to create a portfolio of the work completed during the residency.
