I am pleased to have been asked to be the keynote speaker at the REMAST Conference at South Dakota State University. I'm impressed with this program whose goal is to provide support, training, and a monetary incentive to teach in high-need districts.
I enjoyed interacting today with current Noyce Scholars, recent graduates, and new classroom teachers. I'm inspired by their stories, their enthusiasm, and their optimism!
This is the presentation that STEM Mom gave at the summer 2013 summer
REMAST summer conference in South Dakota State University. Topics range
from "What is STEM?" Ways to teach in context to engage students,
Importance of Inquiry, creating an environment that is friendly for
inquiry, and how to balance natural curiosity with making sure student
improve their scientific thinking and practice skills.

curriculum plan for implementing student research. Year-long planning,
unit-planning, and tips for deadlines is included. Tips on using
technology (Web 2.0 tools) to support the coordinating of group projects
