Impromptu Q&A with principal A Demster “what makes us special is not just that they do STEM, PBLs, design process but they are led thru reflection on what works best for them as a learner”. Equity is also about self-awareness @theTSIN @STEAMemphis
Andy retweeted
“My biggest tip for school leaders pursuing STEM designation is to analyze design thinking processes and find opportunities to embed them naturally. Make it your own. Be flexible with your vision.” - @STEAMemphis principal @mdemster.

So thankful to Dr. Carol Johnson-Dean and the incredible work of “Facing History and Ourselves” for providing opportunities for students in Memphis and across the nation as we stand against bigotry and hate! @FacingMemphis
