English STEM Teacher Tani Caudle, along with student teacher Brianne Calhoun, recently challenged students to
work together to identify and address a social injustice present in our
society.
This project necessitated the students use their math skills for
understanding the statistics of the injustices' frequency, research skills with Ipads to delve deeper into the
injustice, and writing skills to create concise statements for a clear message. In one lesson, students used skills
acquired in different courses to complete the PSA, thus making the lesson more meaningful.

On August 14th, on the campus of Davie High School, the rising freshman of the STEM Class of 2016 tackled
this design process along with two other activities at the Sprint into STEM summer event. The purpose of the
evening was to focus on Common Instructional Framework procedures (Write to Learn, Collaborative Group Work
and Questioning) that students will use on a daily basis in their STEM Classes.
Participating in the event were 127 rising freshman and their soon-to-be teachers. The evening kicked off with a
pizza dinner and a chance to meet and greet their fellow STEM classmates. In order to meet their teachers,
students participated in a "speed dating" activity. Students visited each teacher seated at different tables and
engaged in a 5 minute question and answer session before moving to the next table.
