85-Increasing Social and Emotional Learning Through STEM

Send us Fan Mail85-Increasing Social and Emotional Learning Through STEMThe social and emotional components in learning are such an important part of the whole child. Today Claire Meschkat from Vivify STEM and I sit down to talk about how to cover these important SEL elements through STEM instruction. I hope you will join us. Highlights from the Show:So I think the thing that I've learned is that with STEM, like in my background, I love space exploration and figuring out how airplanes fly and all that stuff. And I thought oh, then I should be designing them and everything. But what I really loved was telling other people about it. I love talking about those things, and that is what teachers do. They help others do the things that they're passionate about and get to share that passion with them. So I'm so excited to now be in this role, and see how Kids can achieve so much when you inspire them with something. ~Claire Meschkat (Vivify STEM)And I think that we need that. We need that for kids, especially our kids, you know, now when they have such a world available to them, but sometimes I don't think they realize that they do have all these different options. ~Trina DeboreeYou know, that's what I really like about STEM is that STEM skills are really life skills. You know, that teamwork, the problem solving the critical thinking, and perseverance.  So, you know, before I get ahead of myself here, but even with the social-emotional learning, like all of that wrapped up into STEM is just such an amazing practice for what kids are going to experience beyond the classroom. ~Claire Meschkat (Vivify STEM)Links Mentioned in the Show:82: The Magic of Hands-On Integrated Units in the Classroom83: How to Engage Students Online and How to Ensure Equal Access84: How to Add More Science Into Your Online or Physical ClassroomJune Reading Comprehension 2nd Grade | Summer Reading Passages & QuestionsPerfect for end-of-year learning, summer school, or preventing summer learning loss, these short, engaging reading passages help students continue to practice comprehension skills.Support the showHelp stop the summer slide and help students love reading with Summer Reading Comprehension Stories written for 2nd grade with questions and response practice.  👉 Summer Reading Comprehension for 2nd GradeSubscribe and Review:Are you subscribed to my podcast?
