I have 6 questions and each requires at least 175 words and a resource 

1.  Collaboration is a much-needed skill in the 21st century workplace. Describe the steps you will take to encourage and foster an environment of collaboration in your STEM classroom. 

2.  It is Open House Parent Night at your school. You have 5-7 minutes to explain what your STEM class is about to parents. Briefly describe three areas you want to focus on so that parents leave with a good understanding of the skills their child will be learning and how they will be learning that content. 

3.  Curiosity is a big part of STEM instruction. Describe how you do or how you will encourage curiosity and discovery in your classroom. 

4.  Inquiry-based instruction can be challenging for some teachers. Teachers often like to correct students during the learning process. Describe how this action can stop the learning process for students. What steps can a teacher take to ensure they allow students to discover learning without teacher interference? 

5.  Share with your peers any the field experiences you have had with shadowing your STEM mentor teacher. Focus on sharing specific examples that demonstrate the application of learning theories, supportive and engaging strategies, resources, and technology, common and innovative assessment practices, and the use of data after assessment.

6.  Which of the instructional methods are you most confident with implementing? Explain. What instructional method are you reluctant to incorporate that could increase the meaningfulness of your lessons for students? What can you do to become more confident with that instructional method?
