Good morning Envisioneers.
My name is Dr. Jessica Johnson. I have been a science educator since 2008. I am not a traditional route teacher and had to go back to school to understand how to teach and facilitate learning. Knowing science wasn’t and will not be enough for the future. Students will need to be able to demonstrate their knowledge.
With that in mind, I started a math and science club back when I was in the classroom and partnered with various colleges to help better prepare our future scientists for what was to become.
I’ve been to robotics trainings and even had my students participate in these programs. However, robotics was just a start. Where are the STEM skills needed in 10-20 years? So what we expose our students (STEM skills must be relevant for 10 plus years ahead of the present. Science is vastly changing.
Now, I work in the capacity of a teacher trainer to help them guide students in this direction.
I hope this helps.
Working with Excellence in Mind,
Dr. Jessica-Gillom Johnson
