HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The National Institute for STEM Education (NISE) and Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) have partnered to create unique job-embedded, online graduate programs that directly connect to K-12 teachers’ classroom experiences and the STEM curriculum they are already using with students. “Through the creation of original graduate programming that focuses teachers on further strengthening the work they are currently doing with their students, SNHU is setting the bar with a new approach to job-embedded learning in the field of education,” said Judy Zimny, Ed.D., vice president of NISE.
