44. How Do You Manage Your STEM Classroom?

Show Summary:How do you manage your STEM classroom? Do you have labels on everything or are you a bit less organized but still (somehow) coordinated? Join Natasha and Claire as they jump into a STEM classroom management discussion with special guest, Julie Lyons, a 15-year veteran of STEM education and current guest blogger and curriculum designer for Vivify STEM. Listen in as she shares her information on how routines are useful to classroom management but sometimes you just have to let it (kind of) go and work within the boundaries of "coordinated chaos".Links from the Show:Vivify blog posts by guest Julie Lyons- 10 Tips for Managing a STEM Classroom- Brain Safety Football STEM ChallengeNot all STEM is Equal: 3 Stages of STEM Education <from the Vivify blog>Making Time for STEM <from The STEM Space Podcast>Must Haves for a STEM Lab <from the Vivify blog>STEM Task Cards: Building Icebreakers <quick build challenges for grades PreK-8 from the Vivify store>Bridge Engineering STEM Challenge <from the Vivify store>Vivify’s Favorite STEM Suppliers:- Pitsco Education- Steve Spangler Science- STEMfinity- STEMfinity - RoboticsNeed more STEM resources?
