Join us as we sit down with Jasmine Applewhite, a dynamic STEAM teacher from Mississippi, who's revolutionizing middle school education by incorporating small group instruction with a STEAM twist. Her unique approach merges science, technology, engineering, art, and math with seventh and eighth-grade ELA, fostering an environment where differentiated learning isn't just a goal but a reality.
In our latest episode, Jasmine doesn't just share her methods; she gives us a glimpse into the heart of her classroom, where collaboration and customized learning take center stage. Discover how she manages to keep her cool while juggling multiple small groups, ensuring each child's needs are met without falling prey to stress or burnout.
