Finding good STEM teachers can be a challenge. The 24-25 STEM teachers at TLS have an average of over 6 years of teaching experience, have taught in 4 different cities, and one has even taught internationally. Our little leaders are going to. be over the moon as they explore the wonders of science and mathematics.

In 2021, The Yukon First Nation Education Directorate (YFNED) conducted an environmental scan of math education tools and approaches currently available to Indigenous students. They found an overwhelming lack of representation of Indigenous methods of numeracy, visuospatial reasoning, and more, within schooling based on western frameworks. Their report, Environmental Scan: Indigenous Math Education and Tools, identifies opportunities for Indigenous-led programs to build a more engaging, supportive, and relevant math curriculum for Indigenous students. The knowledge collected in the YFNED’s 2021 report stems from experiences and learnings of Indigenous-led decolonizing math projects and programs, highlighting cases of promising Indigenous math education programs and tools. Firelight assisted YFNED with developing the interview guide and creating the final report. Since the report’s launch, Indigenous-led math education programs have been moving forward in great strides. In the Yukon, the First Nation School Board was established in 2022, giving Nations more authority over education in the Territory, and in the same year BC saw the launch of the UBC Indigenous Mathematics K-12 Network.

I believe this is a major problem for STEM education because students/teachers don't value mathematical thinking and reasoning in STEM and see Mathematics as a field that merely provides the tools for quantification, calculation, and statistical analysis (descriptive statistics) within a design thinking or Scientific thinking method. A lot of the preplanning on STEM projects if modelled using a mathematical thinking process would alleviate some of the problems that arise during a project but also allow students to see the purpose and relevance of mathematical thinking to real-world problem-solving.
When it comes to STEM education, maths often gets a dud deal. But what if, instead, maths were at the centre of STEM? See what a different approach to STEM can look like in this article I wrote- https://lnkd.in/gNr5Sfcx

Let’s stop romanticizing STEM as “the” solution to our world’s problems. To “save the world,” we need transdisciplinary perspectives in STEM. Tesha Sengupta-Irving and Thomas Philip share how transdisciplinary teaching helps students see past local and global problems as having technical solutions to instead see where STEM intersects with questions of human dignity, rights, and futures. What steps could you take to move toward more transdisciplinary STEM teaching in your school or district?

Hello Everyone! One of the most notable educational trends that is reshaping children's worlds is the introduction of art into STEM education, now known as STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics). Unlike traditional STEM education, STEAM connects the analytical and imaginative aspects of STEM subjects to provide a more comprehensive learning environment. The change from STEM to STEAM represents a forward-thinking development in K–12 education as it promotes an efficient approach that acknowledges the interconnection of all disciplines. Kids are now inspired to think critically, approach challenges imaginatively, and overcome difficulties with creativity when art is incorporated into STEM subjects.

Most STEM educators still rely on traditional teaching methods, despite their proven ineffectiveness. According to an article comparing passive lectures and active learning, students learn more in active classrooms, but perceive less due to increased cognitive effort. For Science teachers, understanding and addressing this perception is key to promoting effective STEM education. #STEMeducation #ActiveLearning #IBEducation
