I appreciate you stopping to read this! I teach 12th grade anatomy/physiology and psychology in a low-income public charter high school that serves ALL the students from this traditionally under-served and under-resourced community. I also founded and coach a CrossFit class for our students. Our students are a incredible group of diverse learners who love challenges. Our school is a project-based learning school in which virtually everything the students learn is through an authentic and rigorous, real-world project. We push our students to do incredibly challenging things: they perform intricate dissections; they build and program robots; they present during mock Grand Rounds to a panel of real doctors; they do forensic testing with real DNA and enzymes. These are just some of the ways that our students are pushed to exercise their STEM brain!
