Early education is all about creating a foundation for future learning. Since there has been formal education, it has been accepted that the 3R’s (Reading, wRiting, and “aRithmetic) were key skills. This served us well for over 100 years, but are they enough to serve students growing up in a digital age? Maybe it’s time for our definition of foundational skills to expand. From artificial intelligence to virtual reality digital, technology is becoming more embedded in our everyday lives. Our students need to be taught how to create with technology, not just use it. Armed with this digital found ..read more

The Impact of A Mastery Mindset On STEM Learning Outcomes
talkSTEM
by talkSTEM Contributor
1y ago
We all learn differently, and by embracing different learning styles, students can go far. While there are several existing schools of thought regarding learning styles, most students can be lumped into one of three categories: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. Some may even cross over, responding to multiple learning styles.  Additionally, it can take some students more time to catch on than others, and those students are likely to fall behind if they’re required to keep up with their peers. Science, math, engineering, and technology (STEM) environments are particularly notable ..read more
