Power surge


As we come towards the end of this semester I feel I can finally start checking off all the commitments that I have made. 
NJEA presentations - check
FCCLA Fall leadership competition - check
Pre-assessments - check
Post-assessment - 1 down, 2 to go
Writing the paper - almost a check

This week I spent two hours writing my methods and procedures with minimal revisions.  I also spent two hours writing my reflection of the needs assessment.  I am feeling comfortable with my subject.

All that is left now is to: 
1. Finish the Literature review - goal is to have it done prior to Turkey day!
2.  Begin Cover page and table of contents.  This should be a challenge, isn't this why we hire editors?

I continue to advocate for FCS as a piece of STEM/STEAM education.  By taking an administrator to the FCCLA Fall Conference I was able to show her what FCS really encompasses.  Her eyes were opened and I think that there can only be positive results, time will tell. 
The success the students experienced as they brought home gold medals from competition gives me joy and thanks!

Change takes time, but STEAM, like water can change the geography of our environment.
