Full program description
STEM education is essential for all students, but it holds particular significance for deaf and hard of hearing learners. The skills emphasized in STEM are vital for solving the complex challenges our world faces today. CSD Learns understands the crucial role of fostering these skills early on, especially by introducing students to role models who share their identities.
Studies have shown that role models can significantly boost learning motivation and help students see themselves in STEM careers. For deaf and hard of hearing professionals, the impact is even more profound: those in STEM fields earn 31% more than their peers in other careers.
With support from General Motors, CSD Learns has developed a series of mini-lessons designed to bring intersectional deaf and hard of hearing STEM role models into your classroom. These lessons cover exciting topics like immunology, nanoengineering, programming, and statistics, providing your students with a comprehensive and inspiring introduction to STEM.
This toolkit is designed to empower elementary school teachers with the resources and support needed to effectively teach these subjects. By integrating these lessons into your curriculum, you can make a lasting impact on your students' futures, helping them to see their potential and the possibilities within STEM fields.
