Policy Recommendations for STEAM
Recommendations for enhancing STEAM education at local, national, and EU levels
(3) Prioritise STEAM Training for Educators
National and EU Level
Policy makers should mandate the integration of STEAM training into teacher education programmes, both at the initial training stage and through continuous professional development (CPD). The European Commission could offer Erasmus+ funding specifically for teacher exchanges, training programmes, and peer-led initiatives focused on STEAM methodologies. This should include a “train-the-trainer” approach, enabling national training institutions to adapt EU resources to specific contexts using tailored content and tools.
Local Level
Local education authorities should facilitate partnerships between schools and industries to provide teachers with hands-on experience in STEAM fields. This real-world exposure will equip educators with practical knowledge that they can transfer into the classroom.
