What gets you excited about being a teacher? or being a school leader? Student engagement - teacher engagement - Last week I had the opportunity to take a teacher to tour a STEM school, she left excited with ideas. I believe in project based learning it creates student engagement. 18 years ago I attended an AIMES workshop and it helped me revolutionize my classroom because it gave me resources to pull off my ideas weekly. It's very easy to forget how much time it takes to create project based lessons, but once you do it they become easier every year. I hope to use STEM certification to create that same revolution at our school. Below is some resources I found to help you research the idea of STEM in your classroom.
