I led a team of five L&D professionals to create training materials to help the board of directors and leadership team of an international school learn about STEM and the different strategies they could use to implement a successful STEM program at their institution.

As part of needs analysis for this project, I conducted cross-departmental interviews with educators, coordinators, and head of departments to identify existing approaches and practices. This helped me write the following learning objectives:

1. To identify key characteristics of STEM education

2. To analyse existing curricula and resources and how they can be utilised

3. To evaluate different approaches to STEM education and identify the best approach for their respective centres

With the end goals in mind, I used the backwards design model to create learning material and assessments to meet the above objectives.

My team created presentations, facilitator guides, job aids and training activities. 

The program was presented to 15 educators and coordinators and was well received. This led to the design and implementation of an integrated STEM program at one of the campuses in Vietnam. My team completed 15 projects over 12 months with a 100% delivery rate and an average of 15% below the approved budget.

This project was a great opportunity for me to develop project management skills as I worked with many subject matter experts, facilitators and stakeholders. I also had an opportunity to create budget estimates and project timelines.
