STEM classroom management is full of fascinating & frustrating behaviors. Let’s be honest, STEM time isn’t always sunshine and collaboration. 😅
Sometimes it’s…
➡️ The student who takes over and shuts everyone else down
➡️ The teammate who barely speaks
➡️ The kid who launches a handful of pom-poms across the room “just for fun”
I’ve been there. And I know firsthand how frustrating it can be when behavior challenges make it hard to actually do the awesome STEM work you planned.
That’s why we’re diving in, head-first to explore some of these tricky (and all-too-common) behavior issues over the next few weeks. Here’s what’s coming (links will be added as posts are published):
Behaviors We’ll Tackle:
- The Takeover Teammate
- The Silent Teammate
- The Disagreeing Designers
- The Absent Contributor
- The Distracted Group
- The Destructive Disruptor
- The Apathetic Student
- The Perfectionist
- The Loophole Finder
- The One-Track Thinker
- The Overly Competitive Challenger
- The Needy Navigator
Each post focuses on a specific scenario that teachers often encounter when doing STEM activities and provides troubleshooting tips to help students grow in their 4 Cs of Engineering: Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking.
I can’t promise this will solve #AllTheProblems, but I hope you’ll get many new ideas to try out to solve at least some of them! and Talk about how I’m not going to solve all the problems, add pin image, add to homepage, create new category and link first post too.
