Description

The Quantum for All project, funded by the US National Science Foundation, provided opportunities for students to learn about various aspects of quantum science by providing professional development for high school STEM educators to learn and practice quantum information science and engineering (QISE). This paper will share qualitative analysis from the feedback surveys highlighting the components of the professional development that were most useful to teachers and identify any common content threads as well as pedagogical approaches that seem to be most influential in supporting classroom implementation.
