Rate My Professor Kate Winchester

Winchester has contributed to educational research, particularly in STEM curriculum integration. She co-authored 'Integrating STEM into the Curriculum: Dimensional Models' (2018) with Boris Handal, Kevin Watson, and Marguerite Maher, presented at the Hawaii University International Conferences STEAM. This paper introduces a new dimensional model for STEM integration, analyzes implementation in 31 schools worldwide, presents illustrative case studies of educational scenarios, and re-conceptualizes the role of STEM with recommendations for authentic pedagogy in teaching and learning. Another collaboration, 'STEM Education Curricular Models' (2017) with Handal and Watson, appeared in the proceedings of the Australasian Science Education Research Association conference. In 2018, she received the ESC Award for a collaborative Scholarship of Teaching and Learning presentation with students Anthony Lewry, Darcy Gilroy, and Kylie Kam, recognizing efforts by new or less experienced academics fostering SoTL research. Winchester also acted as co-supervisor for higher degree by research students in the School of Education and contributed practitioner resources like 'The Gallery as a Classroom Space for Student Engagement' (2021). Her public commentary includes a 2017 Guardian article on making Anzac Day relevant to children through critical teaching methods.
