Know your biases...Know that you ARE biased!

ctdahle — 2018-09-21 18:06:15 UTC

We all have biases and they color our interactions with kids. We cant avoid having them, they are a product of our upbringing, our education, and the environment in which we live and teach. So the critical thing is to be aware of them and to seek to mitigate any negative impacts they may have on students. It is critical to be aware of student's backgrounds and family situation. Is the family indifferent or hostile to the school, or are they afraid of/intimidated by the school, or perhaps embarrassed?

GLOBE International STEM Network Members (GISN)

wrentweet — 2018-09-21 18:06:15 UTC

The GLOBE International STEM Network (GISN) is an international network of STEM professionals (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) that work with GLOBE students around the world conducting science. STEM professionals mentor students and teachers, present scientific ideas, and/or collaborate on scientific research. Each relationship between a STEM professional and a GLOBE school is unique, and is determined by the STEM professional and the school.

National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)

At NCAR, they don't forecast the weather. They get inside the weather, climate, and surrounding environment to understand it better. They study the Sun, air chemistry, how the atmosphere interacts with the land and oceans, and how we change and are changed by weather and climate.

Our definition of STEM

jjaz2co — 2018-09-21 18:50:00 UTC

From Outlier Research: "In all cases, it is clear that some of the most valued components of STEM schools are not STEM-discipline specific, but relate to broader, transferrable, lifelong skills…Educational philosophers such as Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bruner have advocated for inquiry and constructivist approaches for over a century. They argued

for student autonomy, relevance, collaboration with peers, and learning-by-doing."

GLOBE: Earth as a System

jjaz2co — 2018-09-21 20:47:36 UTC

Perceiving Earth as a system begins when we first feel warmth from sunshine or get wet standing in the rain. Understanding Earth as a system – Earth System Science – requires a quantitative exploration of the connections among all parts (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere) of the system. The measurements of The GLOBE Program provide students with the means to begin this exploration for themselves.

The processes comprising the global environment are interconnected. Many of the major environmental issues of our time have driven scientists to study how these connections operate on a global basis – to understand Earth as a system.

As a student still in practicum teaching, I interact with many students in many different classrooms. The data collection activity is applicable to many students with difficulties reading, but will also engage students who can read at higher levels. Using collected data will give students a "buy in" to the activity, as they need all of the steps to complete the activity. In my experiences so far, a physical and applicable activity encourages participation and curbs behavioral issues.

STEM facilitating

kay_bolerjack — 2018-11-03 17:45:27 UTC

Moving into a new position I have the privilege of working with all grade levels, for 50 min. each. In some ways it can be challenging not knowing the intricacies that are part of a students whole learning experience. I am now challenged with providing opportunities that connect to a reluctant learner. I have a couple of 6th graders that have emotional needs that can inhibit learning opportunities. I hope to find ways to make their learning authentic and engaging.
