July 27, 2022 STEM and Neurodivergent Learners with Dr Loz
In this episode of the STEM ED Podcast, I speak with Dr Lorien Parker, aka Dr Loz, about how to engage our neurodivergent students in STEM. With approximately 35-40% of students in each class having a neurodivergent brain, it is crucial for educators to better understand how to support these students in the classroom, but more importantly, provide them with beneficial STEM opportunities.
