How does one teach using an STS approach? Where is the curriculum material to accomplish the task? The answer to these and many other related questions come as a surprise. For example, we may never see a transportable STS national curriculum; because by definition the material must focus on local issues and build from the roots of student interest. In addition, some of the strategies that are most effective require innovative teaching skills that go well beyond just dispensing information. But if teachers are willing to meet the challenge, all could find themselves involved in a teaching model that will guide students to new heights of understanding and rejuvenate early teaching ideals. A properly orchestrated STS unit can be an exciting learning experience for both student and teacher.
