student emotion through the use of drama, humor, physical movement and music were also demonstrated in this seminar4. Planning a Class I: Learning Objectives. Both the Instructional Strategy and the Teaching Model emphasize the use of well-crafted learning objectives to establish what the student will be able to do when completing a lesson, a block of instruction and the course. This seminar introduced the participant to the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy11 and Bloom’s action verbs that establish quantifiable learning objectives for all levels of cognitive learning. Participants were asked to create a set of learning objectives for their practice class, share them with a colleague to improve their clarity, and to modify them to increase

Each instructor has a three-week module to discussa specific topic related to sustainability at the graduate level. The remaining weeks are devotedto an overview of sustainability, soft skill development, and project presentations. • Weeks 1-2: Introduction; Panel discussion: “What is Sustainability?”; Student project selection and planning

The original plan for thisproject was to follow the middle school students in two out of the three counties from the firstproject into high school and examine how their interest in engineering was influenced by theseengineering activities. However, when the pandemic started, the outreach engineering activitiesneeded to be put on hold, and the project was put on pause. The initial approach was to wait itout and see what happened with the state of K-12 education with respect to the pandemic.However, during this time period, there were changes in school administrators, which meant thatany of the existing relationships and partnerships that had been previously established weredisrupted.

This recommendation was made because when that shifttakes place and mentees are driving the group connection, they participate more fully in themeetings and
