"I'm currently teaching a STEM/STEAM online course for Powerful Learning Practice with my arts expert buddy of 20 years - Nancy Flanagan. Our task, among other things, is to show how to put the "A" in STEM. We both have points of agreement, points of divergence, and plenty of questions."
If you had three wishes for STEM education, what would those be? These are three of my priorities:
Classrooms would be places of exploration, creativity, and discourse.
Learning would be meaningfully connected to the world outside the school walls.
Teachers would be prepared and empowered to design engaging STEM curricula and assessments.
If those are your wishes as well, then here's some encouraging news!
