How to Support Teachers in Today’s Educational Environment
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / October 5, 2022 / On this World Teachers’ Day, I would like to take a moment to recognize the special place teachers hold in our communities. Educators have a tremendous impact on young people’s lives, as evidenced by how well we all remember our favorite (and least popular) teachers.
In recent years, educators have been challenged to transform how and where they teach, create new digital curricula at a rapid pace, and hold entire communities together by providing educational routines for our youth. Despite all the disruptions and challenges that educators have faced, they continue to use hope as a tool to bring people together to learn more about the world.
As you listen to teachers this World Teachers’ Day, you will hear about overwhelm and burnout and the expectation of taking on several different roles at once. It sounds like an exceptionally tough time to be an educator.
With a vision to help build a better planet, Keysight takes to heart our corporate social responsibility to support educators. Keysight helps educators deliver Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education to their students as part of our community engagement strategy to foster community prosperity by enabling creative solutions to the challenges of the next generation will. One way Keysight supports teachers is by providing resources to support educators looking for easy-to-use lesson plans on open-source platforms, with no sign-up required.
Keysight sponsors lesson plans on TryEngineering to encourage teachers to introduce engineering concepts into their classes with class-appropriate content. This saves several steps for educators who want to introduce new hands-on projects to their students but don’t have time to plan a lesson, activity, and worksheet for each new project. The TryEngineering platform also provides materials lists, activity guides, engineering design challenges, student worksheets, translations of the material into other languages, and more to help teachers incorporate new projects into their lessons.
Keysight is also a member of the STEM Careers Coalition (SCC), a national STEM initiative supported by business leaders to provide educational resources through Discovery Education’s major school district partners. Using the resources provided by SCC, teachers can access ready-made lessons on STEM topics as diverse as video game design, future fuels, artificial intelligence and green manufacturing to incorporate into their curriculum.
In addition to the open access content that Keysight enables on these platforms, the company’s partnership with the SCC also provides licensed access to an expanded STEM education curriculum for underfunded school districts. Through partnerships with organizations dedicated to supporting educators and the incredible work they do, Keysight invests in accessible and sustainable STEM educational opportunities for all.
On this World Teachers’ Day, we recognize that our corporate social responsibility mission to create a better planet is linked to the ability of teachers to provide quality education to students. By investing in tools and resources for educators to bring practical STEM opportunities to their classrooms, Keysight prioritizes the critical work of teachers to support and empower the next generation. To all teachers around the world: Thank you!
