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.

Since 2008, we have been able to offer summer and follow-up in-person teacher workshops at the MIT campus. Future workshops are contingent on available grant funding.
For the summer of 2011, we are pleased to offer the following workshops:
Imagination Toolbox (August 8-12) - enabling participants to develop simulation or game-based curriculum activities perfectly suited for integration with their existing curriculum.
New! Computer Programming Tools in Schools (August 8-12) - training teachers to help us pilot new multi-language programming curriculum that uses StarLogo TNG and Scratch
New! Introduction to Programming in StarLogo TNG (August 4-5) - 2-day workshop to learn to program simulations and games in StarLogo TNG
