Using Certification Projects to Link Abstract Skills to Practical Applications with John Beale
How do you bridge the gap between abstract knowledge and the real-world task- and project-based skills your students need to succeed in their careers? In this episode, science, STEM, and engineering teacher John Beale explores the answers.
John Beale has been in the classroom for six years teaching science, STEM, and engineering at Nease High School in St. Augustine, Florida. Over the course of his teaching career, he has also created curriculum for a seventh and eighth grade marine science STEM program and an eleventh-grade level computer integrated manufacturing class. Before beginning his high school teaching career, John worked for more than a decade directing experiential learning in museums around Florida for people of all ages.
John discusses the importance of group work in his classroom, how it helps his students learn critical workforce skills. He also discusses how he formulates his groups using the Archer Method, and how these groups help students emphasize their strengths.
You'll also learn about his hands-on projects, and how he creates projects to give practical applications to abstract skills. John walks through his process, so you can create projects like this in your own classroom.
John has graciously offered to share his grading sheets and Microsoft Forms that he mentioned in the episode.
