We’re sharing real STEM professional letters to pre-scientists annotated by LPS teachers to provide STEM pen pals with inspiration and ideas for their own letters. We asked our 2021-22 LPS teachers to pick a letter that stood out to them and tell us why. We hope this series serves as a resource for pen pals …

“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” (Note to teachers: you’re not crazy; things have definitely changed.) Returning to normal in education is not happening. Normal is long gone. It has actually been in our rearview mirror for some time. Teachers were just able to conveniently ignore the fact that the ways students …

The theme for this year is roll with the punches. At every turn, instructional models are changing and teachers, students, and families are learning to adapt to new expectations.

This past summer, the Letters to a Pre-Scientist program’s mission got a refresh. Our original mission was to demystify STEM careers and empower all students to see themselves as future scientists. After many years of program growth, it was time to revisit this guiding statement and make sure it still aligned with our long term …
