STEAM Thinking Plan Why? We want out students to be passionate, hard working, confident, life long learners, who are prepared for their futures beyond the classroom. How? We will give students the opportunity to engage in STEAM projects that will equip them for the skills needed to succeed in the 21st century work field. What? Students who are equipped with the skills needed to succeed in the 21st century and in life. (Villis, 2017) To make a difference you must start with Why? Why should be at the core of the change you are trying to make. When you are able to connect with people on your why they are more likely to make connections to the change you are trying to make. You will also need to reach people on a personal level. Making emotional connections is important to promote change. Most people try to sell their ideas to people using the data and information about what they are trying to do, but if people don't feel a connection to what you are trying to do or change, this is just more information they have obtained (usually not leading to a change in their behaviors). You can't make people change that don't want to. You can just influence the change and be a role model for the change by connecting people to the change you are trying to make by sharing your why and using information (brain) as well as their emotional connections (heart). What do you want to change? What's your why? Check out these videos to help influence change in your organization:
