Oglethorpe faculty are at the table for some of the most important conversations about teaching. I appreciate John Nardo representing Oglethorpe University this summer at the International Congress on Mathematical Education in Sydney, Australia. Not only is Dr. Nardo a world-class instructor, he also cares deeply about our students and their academic – and, ultimately, professional – success. #highereducation #studentsuccess #mathematicseducation https://lnkd.in/eMKiFGn3

Young children have an innate interest in science because they are naturally curious about the world around them. Everything is new, mysterious, fascinating, and ultimately, knowable. 💭🧪 In 1999, the seminal Early Years Study, co-chaired by Dr. Fraser Mustard and the Honourable Margaret McCain, laid out the neuroscientific explanation for why learning early in life—between birth and age five—is so important. At the same time, we have come to realize the value of STEM education in preparing young people for a technologically complex future. Curious on why STEM is important in early childhood education?

Ohio's Top Four Middle School 'Mathletes' Advance to National MATHCOUNTS Competition Ohio's brightest young mathematicians showcased their skills at the State of Ohio Mathcounts competition, where 1240 students from 133 schools across the state participated. Four exceptional middle school 'mathletes' emerged victorious and will represent Ohio at the National MATHCOUNTS Competition in Washington, DC, this May. The national event, which brings together students from all 50 states, features a series of rigorous in-person contests, including Sprint, Target, Team, and Countdown Rounds, as detailed on the MATHCOUNTS website. The four Ohio students who will compete at the national level are: * Arush Krisp from Olentangy Shanahan Middle School in Lewis Center * Samuel Joo from Solon Middle School in Solon * Henry Lu from Grizzell Middle School in Dublin * Aryan Agarwal from Harmon Middle School in Aurora According to a statement from the Engineers Foundation of Ohio (EFO), these talented individuals secured top honors among 171 competitors in the state's MATHCOUNTS event held in March. The impressive turnout of 1240 students from 133 schools underscores the state's depth and breadth of mathematical talent. Arush Krisp, who scored the highest in the state competition, will make his second Mathcounts national appearance. Samuel Joo claimed second place, followed by Henry Lu and Aryan Agarwal. Coach TJ Luttrell from Olentangy Shanahan Middle School will lead the 2024 Ohio team as they vie for national recognition. The Engineers Foundation of Ohio, organized in 1964, is a centralized source of funding and administration for various engineering, math, and science programs. Many of EFO's initiatives aim to stimulate students' interest in these fields and provide them with the knowledge necessary to pursue engineering careers. EFO collaborates closely with industry, school systems, colleges, and universities to foster increased interest and create opportunities for students to explore and excel in engineering. For more information about the Engineers Foundation of Ohio's math and engineering programs, interested individuals can call 1-800-654-9481 (Ohio toll-free) or 614-223-1177 or email [email protected]. #Mathcounts #Ohio #OSPE #NSPE #EFO #STEM

I am so excited to share the topic and put attention on STEAM (science, technology, education, Art, and mathematics). It was my dream to experience Mathematics, Science, and Art together 🤩 STEAM (and its predecessor STEM) is considered an essential component of 21st-century education because it is a dynamic synergy between the visual arts and the natural sciences.

What do you hope is the impact of your work? Dr. Dana M. Cotto “I think that in psychology I’d say we have done an interesting job of problematizing Black and brown children as a problem to be solved. So we’re identifying things that we think that they do that are odd and saying, `well, that's odd, we should change that behavior.’ An example is the multi-generational household. So many people have interpreted that as we should teach these families not to have overcrowded households without acknowledging that so many of us have multi-generational households as a buffer or as a way of thriving in the U.S., where there are very few social programs to help them thrive. If you don't have a babysitter, okay, grandma and grandpa or auntie will help with this. Or I need help with my algebra homework, uncle is really good at this. So instead of looking at it in a negative way that there are ten people in their house, it’s ‘these people have ten people to help with literally every aspect of child rearing that you can think of.’ I hope that one of the things my work does is really shift those interpretations about Black and brown families. My hope is that my lab and our collaborations grow in a way where we can actually help people make sense of what this information means, and help schools and families interpret the information so they can help their children. It’s really about the question of, how do we support communities better?” Read the full interview at the link below ⬇️

Primary Science education is really important to us and we are always trying to find new ways of engaging teachers and students alike. So when Chellaston Junior School (128 students) and Chellaston Infant School (90 students) asked us to fund some wonderful in school experiences for their students on dissection and space exploration - how could we say no? "As part of the science curriculum, we look at the heart and its functions. This is predominately a paper based exercise and the children do not see it as a 3D representation. By enabling them to dissect a heart, as a scientist would do, we not only allow them to see what a heart looks like inside and out but also gives them a taste of the skills needed for science work in a variety of different careers. There are very few opportunities for children to experience such a hands-on activity which links to the real world of STEM and can inspire their interest in a practical and focused way." "Children have a fascination with space and the earlier that they have an understanding and this interest is captured, the more chance there is that they will seek to understand and take their learning further. The Wonderdome enables them to be immersed in this at a young age without the need for travel and overwhelming museums or centres which can detract from the main learning. Children most remember events that happen on school trips rather than the content itself. By using workshops in school, we focus on the learning. The planetarium show encourages their desire to ask questions. The immersive tour of the solar system starts the journey of exploration and enables the children to understand the basic principle that each planet is different to the next. As part of our history curriculum we look at the moon landings and the planetarium links this historical event with the science behind it. As children move onto KS2, they already have a good introduction to the planets, the movement of the earth and this prepares them well for when they revisit this topic in the KS2 science curriculum. Research shows that spaced learning where topics are introduced and then recalled and recapped has more impact on the retention and understanding of the knowledge behind it. " Amazing opportunities agreed with Dr Deb Outhwaite FCCT and Karen Puszczynska and funded by Anna Cummings MSc, MAAT, DCha MSc, MAAT, DCha.
