The STEM Teacher Journey
When I see myself as a STEM teacher, I imagine my students' senses and minds engaged in hands-on experiments, outdoor excursions, and new experiences that will challenge how they see the world. My students will be challenged in a way where they know that they are working hard but enjoy the rigor (similar to a runner training for a marathon). Like an athlete, I want my students to clearly understand the learning targets and what it will take for them to be achieved and to enjoy themselves along the way.
