Cultivating Competency Development: Tools For Constructivism, Inquiry, and STEM

I am so thankful to share this piece with you, an article I penned for STEM Ed Magazine. I have adored the conversations, sharing, and community that STEM Ed Magazine has been cultivating the past while. Always keen on engaging the learner (whether students or educators), each offering of podcasts and digital/print magazine issues are invigorating for my practice.

In my contribution to Issue 4 I share some thoughts on the ties between STEM and inquiry and unpack some of the skills of student agency that allows learners to feel be confident and prepared to take on new and exciting roles in their learning and in life.

Fi Morrison, the hard working EVERYTHING behind the operation, was so gracious in all of our work together. Case in point, she sent me my piece to share with you here.
