Personal Manifesto: My STEM experience and learning
advancement Education has been a very important issue and focus by the communities, parents, and nation. Teaching profession is not the nine-to five job only, but it requires continuous professional development, learning new instructional strategies to enhance the teachers knowledge, and adhering to the rules and procedures. We are always on the go to improve our instructional skills to improve. Improving our instructional skills provides opportunities to us to prepare our students to be life-long learners and have successful careers. Over the years of my teaching career, I have gone through numerous workshops, professional developments, and educational courses. I have written several academic and technology grants to provide my students the most available resources to enhance their academic skills. My intent to Participating in the STEM Project was to enhance my math, science, and technology skills that I can utilize in my classroom. The STEM Project, surely, is a unique learning experience for me. All the activities that we have completed in the STEM Project are very practical. I have integrated several of these activities in my units and lessons. Consequently, my students are excited and inspired whenever, I begin a new unit and embed STEM related activities in my units. My focus is to develop students higher order thinking, inquiry, and interest in math, science and technology. Moreover, I have developed my personal skills in various areas. For example, I have developed confidence, skills, and questioning strategies conducting interview. Similarly, the book Rocking the Boat is has increased my horizon of thinking as a tempered radical and assessing others positions in the school. The STEM Project was very helpful for me in learning and getting hands-on for developing my own website and digital makeover. This was my first exciting experience of developing my own web page. Reflection and Future Planning My plan is to continue focusing on implementing and integrating math, science, and technology in my future lesson units. I wrote a few grants to purchase kindle and nook books for my students. I have planned to present these ideas to the school administration to have the eBooks and laptops for all students. I do share my missionary thinking with my colleagues and the school administration. I have assumed the leadership role in working with my
colleagues in order to implement various STEM Projects school-wide to
enhance our students learning. As mentioned earlier in my goal settings, I have planned to involve three or four teachers of my school and facilitate them to integrated STEM activities in my school during the forthcoming school year. I am planning to keep networking with the STEM team and facilitators to keep abreast of new ideas, activities, and programs, especially related to math, science, and technology.
