It is the experience that students have when they get involved in the classroom. What is most interesting about exemplary science teaching though is that it can take any form. It could include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hands on activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Field Trips<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deep connections with student\u2019s personal lives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaboration with other classrooms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Involvement of other subjects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A focus on other aspects of STEM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engagement in a long term project<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time spent outside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collaboration with outside organizations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AND anything else a teacher can do to get students passionate and willing to learn<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In my own classroom I hope to become an exemplary science teacher through my efforts to connect personally with students. I want to learn about their interests, likes, and dislikes and then go on to connect content with those things. At the end of the day, I have always been most passionate about science when it is connected to my hobbies. I want to bring that same energy to my students during my career. My classroom will be full of practical experiences and activities that can be student-modified to be more engaging and focused on what THEY want and not just what I want. I will also work to incorporate other subjects into my science classroom. Science can be an excellent context through which to learn about other academic subjects, especially other STEM topics. This is what my own EXEMPLARY teachers did, and how I want to work to be exemplary myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>A Video Explanation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Teaching science: we&#039;re doing it wrong | Danny Doucette | TEDxRiga\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5duz42kHqPs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this TED talk, we learn about some of the issues modern science teachers have when relying too heavily on bad practices that do not allow for exemplary teaching.
