We are a small, rural school that struggles to give students 21st Century skills. I teach physical science including introductory chemistry and physics. All freshmen in my school are required to take this class to prepare them for future careers or higher education. As a small, rural school in Iowa, we do not have a large tax base that provides students with a lot of hands on activities. A large percentage of my students are on free/reduced lunches making us a high-need community.
