We put out a call for amazing STEM teachers and were blown away by the responses we received from across the country. From this pool of outstanding leaders, 72 teachers have been selected for the 2019 Teacher Forum. These teachers stood out for their desire and capability to shape the conversation around STEM teaching locally, gather and raise up ideas and experiences from their peers, offer a unique perspective on the profession, and/or actively contribute to 100Kin10’s mission to overcome the STEM teacher shortage.
“This forum promotes leadership without leaving your classroom, gives teachers a voice, and helps teachers to advocate for meaningful 21st century education.” - 2018 Teacher Forum Member
Teacher Forum members help us keep a pulse on what’s happening “on the ground” by pointing us to real-time insights from classrooms and schools across America. Members lead listening sessions in their local STEM communities and gather information about what STEM teachers are hearing, seeing, and experiencing. We then use the synthesized insights to inform how we address the Grand Challenges and share them broadly with the 100Kin10 network and the field in the hopes that they will have broader resonance.
Through the Teacher Forum, members have the unique opportunity to engage in the national conversation on STEM teaching and contribute to 100Kin10’s mission to get and keep great STEM teachers in all our nation’s schools.
We look forward to learning from and alongside this elite group of STEM educators.
