OTT 163: How Does STEM in Elementary School Teach Collaboration and Cooperation?
What do collaboration and cooperation look like in the classroom when we incorporate STEM? Loren Thorp & I discuss "cooperation over competition" using STEM in the classroom.
Is competition ever a valuable tool, or is it just a scarcity mentality on our students?
When Loren and I talked, we discussed why it is essential for us as teachers to shift our mindset from the competition to build an environment where students learn to collaborate. We want to give them the tool to go forth in life with valuable social skills like working together.
