    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Too often students are asked to participate in rather generic classroom activities, such as worksheets, essays, and rote memorization, which may not capture cultural interest or experience. In Society, Culture, and STEM: A Model for Student Engagement and Teacher Collaboration, teachers will learn a team-based approach to incorporating local and international cultural perspectives and experiences into a curriculum of STEM subjects. This book presents a six-phase process, Pryor-Kang Socio-cultural STEM Curriculum Development Model, for designing a socio-cultural STEM curriculum that is integrative, expansive, personal, and achievement-oriented. The Model focuses on a teacher-student-community outreach process, ongoing evaluation, solicitation of feedback, and continuous improvement through curriculum redesign or reconfiguration. In this process, a selected set of curriculum goals, interdisciplinary content learning standards, and resources are coordinated purposefully to capture multiple perspectives and needs. This book provides a newly developed pathway to enhancing STEM learning experiences!
