Teaching with Valor A Veteran's Perspective Podcast "Unpacking STEM Integration Across All Levels"
Manage episode 435770136 series 3585979
Welcome to the Teaching with Valor Podcast. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re exploring a topic that’s not just a buzzword but a transformative approach to education—STEM. That’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
Whether you’re nurturing the natural curiosity of elementary students, guiding the budding interests of middle schoolers, or challenging high schoolers to think critically about their futures, integrating STEM into your curriculum is a powerful tool for engagement and learning.
We’ll dive deep into what STEM looks like at each level of education and how you can make it a vibrant part of your teaching practice. We’ll also explore two additional segments that will broaden your understanding of STEM’s impact, and later, I’ll answer a parent’s question about supporting STEM learning at home.
