03/13/2008

Girls' schools have long been leaders in promoting Science, Technology, Engineering and Math for young women. And today, these fields -- known by the acronym "STEM" -- are more crucial than ever before.

That's why NCGS has created an entire website-within-a-website devoted to STEM learning and achievement. With classroom tools for teachers... fun sites and inspiring stories for students... and even advice and guidance for parents, ncgs.org/stem is designed to be a vibrant, always-growing resource for everyone devoted to educational excellence for girls and young women.

Created with the support of Google, Inc. and The Margaret Hall Foundation, the NCGS STEM site offers:

For Teachers

• Lesson Plans
• Classroom Climate Tips
• Teaching Techniques

• Professional Development
• and much more
