My Project

By completing the National STEM Certification for Teaching, I will gain valuable insights into evidence-based practices for integrating STEM across all subject areas. This certification will provide me with advanced strategies to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity in my students. I plan to apply these strategies by designing hands-on, interdisciplinary STEM activities that align with our curriculum and engage students in real-world problem-solving. As I refine my teaching methods, my students will benefit from a more dynamic learning environment, gaining essential skills that prepare them for future success in a rapidly evolving world.
