STEP Training

MIT STEP offers a teacher licensing program that can be done entirely at MIT or in conjunction with courses at Wellesley College. This program licenses students to teach mathematics or science in grades 5-12. The Scheller Teacher Education Program, offered through the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, prepares MIT students to become teachers who are competent to teach in their field, willing to challenge established norms, able to bridge the boundaries among disciplines, and eager to help students develop the desire to question and explore.

For Educators

STEP is actively engaged in many research and development projects, designing and testing new learning technologies for use in formal and informal education. While some projects are in limited testing with partners, others are freely available for all to try and to use (some complete with curriculum and assessment). Find out more about these projects on the projects page.

Global Kids Students Share TaleBlazer Project with First Lady

Submitted by carole on June 25, 2014

Our TaleBlazer team has been working with Global Kids over the past year to develop curriculum for after-school programs in which students develop digital literacy. Working in teams, students collaborate to make direct connections to the communities in which they live through the authoring of location-based augmented reality mobile games. Two students, Annie Willis and Shavonne Campbell, were recently afforded the opportunity to showcase their work at the National Summer Learning Day Celebration. The two New York City high school students represented one team of seven students that developed a TaleBlazer game about Jackie Robinson and Brooklyn's Ebbets Field. As part of the event, Willis and Campbell met and demonstrated their game for First Lady, Michelle Obama.
