@keds_economist: Why do you hate #stem ? Its actually important. Thanks for feedback fam. I talk #stem, #stempipeline #nsf #Science #skills #communication #reasoning #logic #education with a brief history and a personal story to put the stem ed emphasis in context.
My dislike of STEM is simple: I was a social studies teacher that saw my subject devalued completely. And how’s that working out for us?

It really comes back to the metaphor that kids are gardens to be tended, not wood to be turned into a piece of furniture!

SAT verbal score is one of the best predictors if a math major will graduate

So true!! Many young people are counted out- or counting themselves out- of sciences too early in their education. American education & industry often seem too narrowly focused, limiting innovation.

I see this all the time in software development. People from non STEM backgrounds bring such unique perspectives to solving issues.

i work in tech bootcamps and i'll tell you what, employers love data analysts/scientists/engineers who were previously teachers!

This is such a problem in HS too. My kid thought he was a failure because he struggled in STEM subjects.

is there a way of quantifying how many people are in stem careers without traditional stem learning paths, or another way of thinking about it, how much of an outlier are you?

Love your posts and your presentation skills. I’d add critical thinking skills somewhere in the mix. Looking forward to your next post, regardless of topic.

Social skills need to be pushed more and anything that will educate and enhance people's emotional intelligence. Social skills matter so much more in a professional career than most realize.

This video and your previous are so interesting - love your discussion. As a PhD candidate in stem I do sometimes question authentic interest vs the insane amount of “girls in stem” push in k-12

Great explainer 😊 It’s really interesting, I work in data and never heard of that pipeline. But it makes sense.

As an Engineer, I totally agree with this take. I'm unconventional because I made my own pathway. I have the development of transferable skills that I brought to the world of engineering. I agree 1/2

As a history professor, I tell my students the research and writing skills they learn from my class can transfer to any discipline. Thank you for valuing all contributions to education.

I’m a software engineer and unfortunately during the interview process for positions they always ask what you know, which is secondary. They don’t focus on how to solve problems.

STEM is not "the answer" because there is no "the answer". There is "an answer" (or several answers) that fit you. My path: BA in English, PhD in Comp Sci.

I am only recently becoming aware that STEM, while valuable, is not on the leading edge of skills in which strategic personal investment might receive the highest pay off. Many are becoming defensive!

I ended up being the presenter in hard STEM (Ag Science) because I could bridge the researchers and the customers. Communication is a skill!

as a software engineer for the last 25yrs I can say we used to try to hire soft skills first. the technical was easier to teach. now it's always tech first.

Very astute. I was also a lit-humanities student , but went into manufacturing and succeeding there because of my aesthetics background.
