CWU To Help Meet The Demand For S.T.E.M. Teachers
Central Washington University (CWU) in Ellensburg is about to go full steam ahead on STEM. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math. Teachers in these subjects are in demand so when classes begin in September, CWU is introducing a Master of Education specialization in STEM Leadership.
The STEM masters program is the only one of its kind in Washington — and Selah High School science teacher Alex Soto is excited to be among the first recipients of the specialization,
“I’m looking to gain further knowledge about how to teach science to people from different backgrounds and lifestyles, and get everyone super excited about STEM in general....In the long run, I could see myself transitioning into a district-wide STEM facilitator position. So, having this knowledge under my belt now will be very helpful.”
