Faculty Conferees

Working alongside the STEM Transitions team at CORD are 38 community college faculty members who are serving as “conferees” (subject matter experts) for the project. Conferees have participated in several phases of the project including the standards review process, the identification of embedded math and science content in the cluster standards, and the development of classroom-ready integrated projects for use by community college instructors.
