Introduction to Depth and Complexity for STEM – Part 1

STEM teachers can struggle to see how Depth and Complexity can work in their content areas. In this course, Lisa Van Gemert, M.Ed.T., author of the best-selling book on Depth and Complexity, guides STEM teachers through four thinking prompts, showing exactly how they can be used effectively and powerfully in STEM classrooms, particularly dedicated, project-based STEM environments. A robust course guide is included that contains a quick start guide that allows teachers to implement Depth and Complexity with ease.

The course emphasizes the crafting of high-quality questions, and it also shares specific ways Depth & Complexity improves and impacts activities done in class. The Depth and Complexity component of Disciplinarianism is also introduced to help teachers move students towards professional-level work. NOTE: This is part one of a two-part course.
