Abstract
Implementing STEM PBL (Project Based Learning) into schools has been gaining popularity over the past years. Although there are a lot of activities dedicated to improving STEM teacher qualities, the previous literature does not provide clear versions of effective STEM PBL professional development programs for charter school teachers. In this paper, we will illustrate the efforts and challenges to include STEM PBL curriculum into the charter school system in Texas as told from the teachers’ perspective. In this sense, we explored and compared the experiences of three charter school teachers who implemented STEM (PBL) instructional approach into their school curriculum.
