Story-Powered STEM for a K-J Journey: From Kindergarten to Jobs; Fostering Early Growth Mindset with Paul Reynolds and Andrea Calvin at V-PETE 2021
Join Paul Reynolds , CEO , FableVision / Reynolds Center TLC and Andrea Calvin for their ‘Story-Powered STEM for a K-J Journey: From Kindergarten to Jobs; Fostering Early Growth Mindset’ session at The Pennsylvania Education Technology Expo and Conference (V-PETE 2021) on February 10 at 10:30 a.m. (ET).
About the session: The world’s future in many ways relies on early educators’ comfort level around teaching STEM. Their efforts will help determine if we are going to have the future scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians needed to tackle the existential problems facing our planet. The urgency is compounded by research that shows that students’ STEM self-identity (or lack thereof) is forming as early as 10 to 12 years of age. To that end, we need to support our early/elementary educators in more effective ways so they can start meaningful STEM learning earlier on a student’s learning pathway. If successful, these educators will play a critical role in cultivating larger, more engaged cohorts of students interested in STEM studies and careers.
About V-PETE 2021: The Pennsylvania Education Technology Expo and Conference brings like-minded technology administrators and educators from all over Pennsylvania and surrounding areas to learn from leading experts in the education and technology fields. While this event is usually held in person, this year, PETE&C is changing into V-PETE2021!
V-PETE2021 is not your typical virtual meeting. You’ll be able to choose from 100 different educational sessions, choosing those that are most relevant to your learning environment, some in the daytime and some presented in the evening for your convenience. Not only that, but sessions will be recorded so that you can catch up with ‘On Demand’ viewing, seeing sessions you might have missed through August 2021.
