Focus Group -Dream It
A Time of Change ?
A diversion from the initial Dream It 1.0 and 2.0 ; where the
main focus was to increase teacher byin to STEM was a necessary
task. The new focus would be increasing student byin to STEM. A
presumed result of this shift would be that teachers would begin to
assimilate themselves into the STEM fold as their students began to
show progress.
In my reflection paper, I mentioned a subgoal of using STEM to
increase student participation and reduce student delinquent
behavior. The following list reflects the ongoing goals that I am
striving to implement to support this work with students:
