  • Well congratulations on being teacher of the year.

  • Thank you so much.

  • I understand you teach science to very young kids.

  • Yeah, my class is called S.T.E.A.M. Lab. Science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.

  • I can talk to them about how all those different subjects integrate together

  • and the skills that they use transfer across.

  • At that young age, do you get all the kids pretty engaged? The boys and the girls?

  • Oh yeah, definitely.

  • I do projects in the arts and creative problem-solving.

  • Really working on developing those soft skills, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking skills.

  • Yeah, it's interesting you put art in there as well.

  • Yeah, and I use it a lot to just talk to students about how it's that imagination, that creativity,

  • the innovation side of their brain that they're always using no matter what else they're doing

  • and those people who are going to be the most successful in the future are going to be people that have that lens

  • on okay, how can I make this work better? How can I solve the problem?

  • Yeah, it's great to expose kids to stuff like that.

  • I mean it used to be cars, you would kind of take them apart.

  • Now that things are kind of digital you kind of mess around with the pieces less.

  • In the civil engineering unit, kids came through on this first day and then I said okay here's all the supplies.

  • You know all these different legos and blocks and different things I have

  • show me what you would build if you were going to build a bridge.

  • And almost every kid, you know it's block, block, block, block, road on top, just basic kid bridge you know.

  • But this one boy, he went over and got the legos out and he designed an arch bridge with the legos in about five minutes.

  • Wow

  • He's one of the most struggling readers in second grade.

  • He's kind of getting by in math, but every single thing that he built, every assignment I gave him

  • he was the first one finished and you can just see it in his face that he has this new determination

  • because he knows he's smart at something.

  • It's like his whole worldview is bigger, and that's such a special moment for me as a teacher.

  • Well it's inspiring to hear what you're doing. Thanks so much for spending time with me.

  • Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

Well congratulations on being teacher of the year.
