TSIN announced today the 2018-2019 class of the Tennessee Rural STEM Collaborative – a yearlong, cohort-based training for rural educators designed to share promising practices in STEM education, seek solutions to local education challenges, and encourage the development of a targeted STEM solution for each community or school represented. This year, 43 educators representing 18 counties across Tennessee were competitively selected for the Collaborative.

“Rural communities have a great need for a prepared STEM workforce. We are excited to work with this geographically diverse group of educators to enhance STEM education for Tennessee students,” said Sandy Watkins, Director of the Tennessee STEM Innovation Network. “Over the course of this year long program, each of the educators in the Tennessee Rural STEM Collaborative will develop tools and identify local partnerships to engage their students through STEM opportunities.”

Within the Collaborative, there are three regional cohorts that will map the STEM resources and potential partners unique to the educational landscapes in West, Middle, and East Tennessee. The Collaborative provides a stipend for teachers to engage with the program and implement their proposed solution within their own communities. For more information, visit www.tsin.org/pd.
