My Project
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education focuses on preparing today's students to be successful in their careers. STEM-based education teaches our students more than science and mathematics. The focus on hands-on learning with real-world applications helps develop a variety of skill sets, including creativity and essential new skills.
The connection between STEM and social communication is critical, especially at early ages.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, known as ASHA, recommends “increasing active engagement and building independence in natural communication environments” as a key strategy for children with social communication concerns.
But despite their penchant for science and tech, youth with disabilities are often excluded from STEM activities in educational settings due to mistaken assumptions about their learning capacity.
Using STEM materials such as the requested Science Instant Learning centers and the Design Build Engineering centers in my science classroom will support 21st-century skills including media and technology literacy, productivity, social skills, communication, flexibility, and innovation.
Other skills attained through STEM education include problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership and so much more.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
