STEM fields

Developing New STEM Practices As the name of this action plan indicates, introducing Agora’s teachers’ to the eight STEM practices from the NGSS is essential aspect of Agora’s STEM progress. Even though Agora does not follow the NGSS standards, the school can follow the Framework for K-12 Science Education and successfully implement the STEM practices (NGSS, 2013). Through the training with the EiE curriculum, teachers will be introduced to the STEM practices, but additional work needs to be…

the STEM fields, women are usually discriminated against. This is due to either their experience or, occasionally, just because they are female in general. I believe that this is quite unfair as women are able to do just as much or more than men and they are sometimes more qualified than men to do a certain job. Even if they apply for a job in one of the fields of STEM and get it, they are usually harassed or not taken seriously. In my essay, I will explain my vision for women in the STEM…

should no longer have to fight to be seen as equal to men. Women face many barriers throughout their lifetime. These factors combined influence the number of women in STEM fields. In the 21st Century, it is no longer acceptable for women to be underrepresented in STEM fields. While there is not one explanation for the gender gap in STEM fields, gender bias start before children enter school. From an early age, boys are more likely than girls to be engaged in scientific conversation by parents.…

female in the STEM field goes in knowing that she will be a part of the minority. Most girls are told be prepared to be in classes where the majority is boys. Most adults tell them that they should not get distracted by the boys, and their fellow girls say that they are so lucky to be surrounded by boys. It is as if girls cannot be in a class to actually learn, but instead their only focus is on being around boys. A female in STEM is already fighting the stereotype because the STEM field is…

Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). This information serves as a chilling contradiction to the late 1960s when technological jobs such as computer programming was deemed as something a savvy young woman could do even comparing computer planning to “planning a dinner”. This paper will analyze why there has been a decrease in the amount of women in the fields of STEM, ways to increase the percentage…

as a society need to encourage more young girls and women to take an interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In 2009, 48% of the United States workforce was comprised of women while 52% comprised of men (Kimmel et al, 2012). While the slight deviation in percentage seems small, when STEM field jobs were looked at in particular, it was realized that that 76% of the STEM jobs are held be men while women only held on to 24% (Szelényi et al, 2013). In 2010…

were considered “men’s fields.” These fields consisted of civil engineers, auto mobile and mechanical, and dentistry field. In contrast, women tended to work as registered nurses, kindergarten and preschool teachers. Over the past 30 years, more women have migrated into what were once considered men’s jobs, but for most fields, these numbers are still statistically low. According to the U.S.…

In this essay it will explain about the similarities and differences between two units of Algebra 1, Unit 2 and Unit 4. Between Unit 2 and Unit 4 there are many similarities and differences in their lessons. In Unit 2 its lessons were based off of equalities, or equations, and in Unit 4 it is based off of inequalities. There are three main related lessons between these two units and they are, one-step equations to solving inequalities with addition and subtraction, multi-step equations to…

least of their concerns. Protesters were there to proclaim justice for all the farm workers that had been denied the right for proper working conditions in the fields.
