Drew (2011) writes: "One of the best solutions for strengthening STEM education is to raise our expectations for students" (p. 203).
Reflect on the following questions as you formulate a substantive, 2-3 paragraph response:
How will you raise the expectations of the students in your classroom with respect to intentionally engaging in and applying the principles and skills learned through the study of STEM subjects?
More specifically, and perhaps more personally, what new expectations do you have for yourself as you engage students in the regular practice of skills learned through STEM disciplines?
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research.
