This preliminary study evaluates the impact of an After SchoolSTEM service learning course on undergraduate preservice teachers (PSTs). This course wasdesigned with the broad goal to engage undergraduates who are thinking about becomingteachers (going on to a credential program after graduation) in a service learning course in whichthey engage in a pre-credential field experience. As part of this experience, undergraduates learnabout STEM integration in teaching and STEM based activities, and then teach those activities toelementary students in local after school programs. The main research questions for this studyinclude: A) How did the service learning

An important lesson to learn is that professorsshould regularly attend each others classes or at the very least meet regularly to ensure course coordination.According to their evaluations, students felt professors must work diligently to integrate and coordinate theirlectures. As mentioned before, the professors could see distinct advantages to attending each others classes.Meeting outside of class to structure the syllabus is important but true integration can only occur if bothprofessors are in class to add insight to the topic under discussion. Of course this will require the mutualrespect of the faculty participants to ensure that no one faculty member becomes the dominant

theschoolhouse on the first day is now gone. Students are taught discrete, integral conceptswith very little attachment to the learning style or framework of the learner. Therefore,most ideas are taught in an abstract way, with students trying to memorize enoughinformation to pass the six-weeks exam and the final exam at the end of the year. Rotememory is the order of the day.By the time the student reaches the university level, he or she has learned how to "workthe system." Courses quite often become more structured, focused upon a single domainor discipline, and so may be termed “uni-disciplinary.” For the sake of explanation, let’simagine four illustrious professors, Drs.
