STEM Learning Materials Support

Description

The STEM Learning Materials Support Project enhances teaching and learning outcomes in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) across basic and secondary schools. It provides STEM textbooks, teaching & learning materials (TLMs), experiment kits, and teacher resource guides to improve classroom delivery and inspire learners, especially in underserved communities.

Implementation Plan

·         Phase 1 – Needs Assessment (Month 1): Conduct baseline assessments with District Education Offices (DEOs) and select beneficiary schools; map subject gaps and inventory existing resources.

·         Phase 2 – Procurement (Month 2): Source textbooks, TLMs, and experiment kits from vetted local publishers and suppliers; ensure curriculum alignment (Primary & JHS levels).

·         Phase 3 – Teacher Orientation (Months 3–4): Organize regional workshops to train teachers on effective use of TLMs and hands-on experiment kits.

·         Phase 4 – Distribution (Months 3–4): Deliver materials to schools; provide teacher packs and student sets; coordinate with school leadership for safe storage and use.

·         Phase 5 – Monitoring & Evaluation (Months 5–8): Conduct classroom observations, collect teacher/students feedback, and run pre/post assessments to measure learning gains.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

1.    Number of schools supported (target: 10+ schools per term).

2.    Number of STEM textbooks, TLMs and kits distributed (target: 2,000 items annually).

3.    Number of teachers trained on TLM usage (target: 50+).

4.    Percentage improvement in STEM test scores in beneficiary schools (target: 15–20% within 6 months).

5.    Teacher satisfaction with materials (survey target: 80% positive).
