School is around the corner, and our STEM lab is still an empty room. Unfortunately, I won’t know how my classroom/lab will be furnished until a few weeks after school has started. Once the lab is built and constructed, I will then have to wait for training on how to access the content before I can view the purchased modules and their content. With that in mind, I know that our course design will have a focus on career exploration and college/job ready skills. The first course we will design will have a math focus that will hopefully help to assist our current low performance on EOG math assessments. Skills that I hope to instill will cover areas mentioned by the professors at LCC such as fractions, ratios, conversions, solving equations for an unknown, and measuring skills. Ironically, all the mentors and professors I worked with, regardless of their fields, stated weaknesses in math skills and group collaboration/presentation skills were what was holding students back. Knowing that these are high areas of concern, I hope to be able to work them into the curriculum as much as possible.
