Across today's schools, innovation meets inspiration and curiosity sparks boundless learning. In our STEM-focused education world, teaching will often be a truly exhilarating journey—even more so when fueled by key principles of science, technology, engineering, and math. In a 21st-century classroom, educators serve as navigators, igniting flames of inquiry and guiding children through intricate pathways of discovery. These days, each lesson is often a blend of hands-on experimentation, collaborative problem-solving, and critical thinking exercises. By implementing these teaching styles, teachers often better prepare the next generation of innovators and problem solvers. STEAM-focused educators in today's classrooms not only convey knowledge, but also facilitate exploration, encourage students to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and explore the world around them.
From coding and robotics to environmental science and mathematics, modern curricula are diverse and adaptive, mirroring the landscape of STEM. In a K-12 classroom, failure is not feared, but celebrated as a stepping stone towards greater understanding. Through trial and error, students learn resilience, perseverance, and that success can arise from perseverance in the face of challenges. Today's instructors beautifully understand this importance of their role in fostering inclusion and diversity in STEM fields. With teaching practices that prioritize equitable access to resources and opportunities, teachers can ensure kids feel empowered to pursue passions and contribute to their STEAM community. Explore the content on inspirational teaching approaches below to help unlock authentic growth in students. Together, we can inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators to succeed.

I am Amrapali Sharma and, as a longtime special education teacher, I often use an IEP (individualized education program) that I’d drawn up for each of my students, keeping in mind their current abilities, and including some set of reasonable goals we want them to work towards. Given what we’re now facing, a lot of that has gotten more challenging.
As you know, everybody is doing their part to pull together resources for remote learning and that includes the companies whose STEM tools we sell on our store. Whether it’s at-home project ideas, best practices webinars, or tips for cleaning, we want to keep the learning going as best we can!
If you’ve worked in the classroom, attended EdTech conferences, or kept up to date with the latest happenings in the technology world, then there’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard of Edmodo. There’s also a pretty good chance you’ve already used it with your students. But, if not, you can learn all about it in this week’s Rising Resources blog!
As part of our Rising Resources blog series, we’re taking a look at some of the world’s most helpful resources for educators and telling you what you need to know. For this week’s blog, we checked out a resource called TeAch-nology. Essentially, TeAch-nology is a service that provides educators with thousands of resources that make everything easier.
Wouldn’t it be great if teachers could make more money than they do? Well, until that happens, there are, in fact, some ways they can do just that, including using the site that’s the subject of this Rising Resources blog, Teachers Pay Teachers!
