Takeaways:

  • The VATIDES program shows pre-service teachers in Virginia how to lead their students in MWEEs.

  • Each MWEE consists of an outdoor science investigation and a follow-up action project, and can be used to teach many concepts in biology, chemistry, and physics classes.

  • By training pre-service teachers, the VATIDES program ensures teachers are equipped to lead meaningful science lessons for their students.
