PRACTICES WITH SOCIETY
We believe that no matter what students choose to do after high school, the Science Engineering Practices and Standards for Math Practice develop habits of mind that are necessary for lifelong STEM literacy. As educators, prioritizing engaging STEM education is relevant to our students' lives both in the classroom and beyond.
We believe high quality, student-centered education is a right that ALL students deserve. We bring an anti-bias lens to reviewing both curriculum and classroom practices.
We believe education is one of the most powerful tools we have for creating a civically engaged, intellectually curious, and more equitable society. Educators are powerful role models for students that can help align classroom practices with the needs of modern society.
