What are the 8 principles for inclusive STEM education and how can they inform STEM teaching practice?

In this episode, we explore the origins and evolution of the 8 (were 7) principles. We unpack the research behind their development, the challenges they were designed to address, and why educators are integral to advancing equity in STEM.

You’ll get an overview of all eight principles, along with an exploration of how technology can be meaningfully integrated into STEM learningand the role of cultural context in STEM teaching. We also share practical ways teachers can bring these principles into their classroom teaching and how the principles can be used across whole school planning.

How can we connect STEM teaching to students’ local environment?

In this episode, we speak with award-winning primary school teacher Judith Stutchbury about how place-based learning can bring STEM to life. We explore her school’s involvement in the Reef Guardian Schools program and the Mon Repos Turtle Centre, the benefits of cluster teaching for regional schools and her book Hatch Saves the Reef.

Biography: Judith Stutchburyis an award-winning primary school teacher, author and leader in science education. She is a passionate advocate for conservation and draws on the nearby Mon Repos turtle rookery in Queensland as a foundation for student learning, integrating marine, environmental and biological sciences across the curriculum.

She is also the author of the children’s book Hatch Saves the Reef and in 2023 received the Prime Minister’s Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching in Primary Schools, recognising her outstanding contributions to science education.

Strengthening STEM through school leadership with Professor Kim Beswick

How do we connect what students learn in the classroom with what STEM looks like in the real world? 

We explore the CSIRO’s STEM Professionals in Schools program with Martin Jellinek, unpacking how the program helps bridge the gap between classroom teaching and STEM industry practice. We discuss the program’s structure, the flexible supports available to schools, and the powerful role that STEM role models can play in engaging students in STEM pathways. Martin also highlights the rich possibilities that co-designing with industry experts can offer, particularly for teachers working out of field. 

We’re then joined by primary school teacher Sarah Todd, who shares her experience bringing STEM professionals into her school and how these partnerships have strengthened her own teaching. We look at the impact of student-led STEM projects, as she tells us about how her students’ bandicoot-monitoring project led to real change in their local community.
