Show Notes:
The tipping point for Stephanie to leave the classroom and create a STEM school was mastery of her craft and frustration with being trapped in a box. The hallmark of a thriving STEM classroom is students experimenting with things we don’t already know the answer to. Creating a school requires legislative backing and many pivots. The integration that STEM requires challenges both students and teachers to learn to navigate social-emotional hurdles. Assessment in an integrated STEM school requires a shift to assessing competencies over products.
