To meet the growing need for quantum information science and technology (QIST) workforce development, precollege students need to be exposed to QIST. However, quantum topics are not often taught in high school classrooms in the United States.
This research reports outcomes from a university-based International Year of Quantum Science teacher leadership initiative designed to promote QIST education in U.S. secondary schools in the New York area. A one-day conference was held in June 2025, aiming to build motivation for middle and high school STEM teachers to incorporate quantum ideas, QIST curricular developments, and the QIST research and workforce landscape in their disciplinary instruction. Following the conference, 12-hour professional development workshops were offered.
This presentation will give insights into the general approach of the project and highlight best practices for facilitating teachers' motivation and QIST pedagogical self-efficacy.
