Most of us that teach university STEM courses have not had training in how to teach. Our knowledge and experience of different strategies that could help our students learn is limited, as is our time to learn about those strategies; so we teach as we were taught and hope for the best. In Teaching and learning STEM: A practical guide, the authors provide an easily digestible description of research-based techniques university STEM instructors can use to improve teaching and learning in their courses.

A photograph of a teacher standing in a white lab coat, speaking with a class of children in a laboratory, is superimposed on a colourful background. Text reads "Teach Chemistry means support for classroom and staff room".
