    Frequently Asked Questions

    Learn more about teaching strategies that can prepare you for the classroom.

    Teaching Strategies

    What is STEM teaching?

    “STEM” stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM teaching methods integrate all four areas into well-rounded, practical lessons that are intended to have long-term benefits for both the students and the sustained growth of the economy. Some curricula add Art to the mix, creating “STEAM” initiatives in schools. 

    What is scaffolding in teaching?

    Scaffolding is teaching strategy that simplifies concepts by breaking them up into smaller chunks and providing a tool, or concrete structure, to guide students through each chunk. Modeling is a great method of scaffolding because it shows students exactly what they are expected to do before they try each lesson.

    What is ESL teaching?

    ESL stands for “English as a Second Language.” Teachers who specialize in this area help non-native speaking students learn the formal vocabulary, grammar, and verbal pronunciation of the English language. Training may vary and can be embedded in a formal degree, teaching credential or add-on certification program.
