Hi friends! 

I am a graduate student at Tennessee Technological University in hopes of becoming a primary grade teacher. I currently work at a school that doesn't press education in STEM. What are some questions I should ask future employers to ensure I start my teaching career at a school that takes STEM seriously? 

Hello Danielle, 

Some of the questions that I think you could ask a future employer would be:

How does your school integrate STEM into the curriculum?

How do you implement the areas of Science, Technology Engineering, and Mathematics to develop your student's skills in problem-solving, critical analysis, and creativity?

In what ways do these subjects overlap in your curriculum and how do you utilize the best content and skills that can be developed from both?

I agree that you should ask about the implententation of STEM within your school. I know that a lot of schools will hold parent nights that invite parents and students to a night of STEM activites. I also think it would be great to ask about overlapping. There is so much that is taught in both science and ELA that overlap with each other.
