Title: The Future of STEM Education
Author: TedX, Roni Ellington
Address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hb0vkdzaWg
Rating: "Supergiant" (4 Terrific)
Review: The purpose of this video is to highlight the need for STEM education as an equal opportunity for all students in all schools. The speaker for this presentation, Roni Ellington, tells her personal story of how STEM education changed her self-view, her education, and her life. This issue is important for educators, especially those who advocate for more rigorous content for English Language learners. Content area teachers are most often the only voice ELs have in accessing advanced courses, especially classes of technology and engineering. In this video, Ellington conducts a solid presentation at a teacher conference in which she empowers content area teachers to be the vehicle of change for all students. Her research shows that equality in STEM courses are not evident for all students. STEM classes are kept at a distance to those who she refers to as "coming from the wrong side of the tracks". Ellington's passion is for teachers to create positive learning environments for minority students in STEM, build relationships with them, structure peer support, and conduct curriculum focused on problem-based learning.
