I Need a Minute: Teaching and Learning as Introverts in an Extroverted Culture
[…]first year of teaching, but one graciously reached out to each of us. Over time, we came to feel comfortable telling them about our ideas and our classroom instruction, viewing them as mentors. I (Bennett) even invited my mentor to observe a lesson that included a game of Kahoot!, an online learning and trivia platform. He was unfamiliar with the platform and decided to implement it in his own classroom. A week later, he acknowledged my contribution to the entire school in a full staff meeting (to my quiet, introverted horror). This marked a turning point in my relationship with […]
Learning Spanish in Guatemala
[…]in California, where there are many Spanish speaking immigrants. Rick and Katie teach classes of newcomer students, and Kim has mixed classes comprised of native English speakers, English learners who have been in the U.S. for several years, and newcomers. Many of our students speak Spanish as their primary language, and we interact with parents whose primary language is Spanish.

[…]identify times they felt impostor syndrome that I realized that I felt like an impostor. I was uncomfortable making every lesson concerning gender in STEM and worried that I would use the wrong terms or that my data or anecdotes were not exactly correct. When I wanted to have students discuss a video that talked about NASA’s famous confusion with the number of tampons Sally Ride needed for a few days in space, I felt the need to ask a female coworker if it was appropriate for 11th and 12th graders. I didn’t feel qualified to talk to my students […]
Sara Valdez
[…]and empower LatinX students to succeed in STEM. Sara’s most unique internship involved working for a research group that was developing affordable solar water heaters for developing countries. During this experience, she had the opportunity to work and live in Guatemala to build and field test these water heaters. This experience allowed her to apply the science and math concepts she learned in school to a real engineering project that had a positive impact on several families. Additionally, Sara worked as a tutor in math, science, and robotics while in college and while working as an engineer. Sara will begin […]
