What do teachers have to say about the Successful STEM Challenges Webinar?

This hour webinar has been more informative than the pd I sat in for 4 hours.

— Bradley K., Successful, Substantive STEM Web PD

Kerry- thank you so much for taking the time to offer this class!  You have been very comprehensive and gave great tips and tricks!

— Heidi S., Successful, Substantive STEM Web PD

Thank you for your webinar..your thoughts on what research looks like in a STEM challenge really made me reconsider. I had been really stressing to my teachers to research for a short time before.  I see why that might lead to replication.

Failtober!

One of the trickiest and scariest problems teachers face is helping students overcome the fear of failure with growth mindset traits like resilience, grit, persistence and determination. The fear of failure can so adversely affect our students lives that I'm devoting a whole month to it -- the scariest month of the year -- Failtober! Click through to the blog to see what's in store!

It’s not PD in the typical sense, but we’ll be spending all of October exploring this more intense of fears, and how you can help your students develop a healthy relationship with productive failure. The month will have a series of Facebook Live sessions (uploaded later to YouTube) on related topics and some other resources and goodies along the way. See more on the blog post.

Video Testimonials

I stumbled upon your videos and just wanted to thank you so very much for the valuable "in-service training" I received by watching them! I learned quite a bit and I'm looking forward to all of my STEM opportunities in the future!!

Greetings from Melbourne Australia! Kerry, I came across your STEM challenges towards the end of last year and am totally addicted to your videos. Though many of the challenges have an American slant, the principles that you talk about focus on student learning and engagement, and are universal; my kind of teacher! I have even shown some of your videos to other STEM teachers, generates much excitement amongst them! Please, please keep up the great work....
— Vicky S.,
Love all the lessons and challenges I have tried from your TpT store plus your website...I’ve taken two stem challenge professional development courses through our district and I’ve learned more by watching two or three of your videos (and reading your website) than I have in the nine hours of professional development.
