As part of working on renewal credits which every teacher needs to do (6 credits in 5 years). I am doing a book study on a book by Chris Woods titled “Daily STEM”. This is a professional development course provided by DIAL / CORE office in Platte which we are a member school.
The author has a chapter entitled “STEM and Families and Communities". Here is a quote from the book I would like to share. (Chris Woods words) “We can turn family STEM into an acronym: Stories . . . Talk about STEM in your daily lives; Trips . . . Visit places where STEM is used; Exploring . . . Discover STEM in the natural world; and Making . . . Build, fix, or create with STEM.”
There is a website to go along with this book. https://dailystem.com/news/
Here is an example of the newsletter he creates. https://5il.co/1xqy1
Hope you are enjoying your summer. Mary Bitterman
