So proud of STEM Academy middle school Ss that read Thirst by @varshabajaj and then were inspired to do something about global access to fresh water. They organized a "penny war" with our little K-8 school and we raised over $1400 to send to water.org/ @Water

Now is the time to shift our focus from test scores (a dying, oppressive data system) to measuring student AGENCY through classroom reflections, listening sessions, performance assessments, project-based learning, surveys, & more. Sky is the limit! #StreetData @JamilaDugan

Character is the interpenetration of habits. -John Dewey, Human Nature and Conduct 1922.

If each habit existed in an insulated compartment and operated without affecting or being affected by others, character would not exist. That is, conduct would lack unity being only a juxtaposition of disconnected reactions to separated situations.

#STEM learning isn’t just the robots & coding & expensive resources… It’s also about relationships kids build with each other & building real-world relevant connections to the content. #DailySTEM

The @KRESAIS Career Connect mobile lab is awesome! I was able to engrave a bubba tumbler with CCC and it only took 15 seconds. @xToolOfficial STEM Academy Middle School students are going to love it. They will get to practice welding with the @MillerWelders MobileArc AR system.
