There is extensive evidence of globalization at Vineland Middle School. I have addressed this global development within my classroom and signs are visible throughout our school. VMS is implementing a STEAM program to prepare our students to be successful in a global society.
Collaboration is a global skill that takes place in my classroom and work place. Providing students with the skills required to be successful in a team setting prepares them for the global work place. “Working in teams requires students to develop skills in group dynamics, organization, leadership, discussions, negotiations and management skills.” (Viederyte, pg. 1034) Collaboration is encouraged among students and staff at VMS. We are beginning to understand that successful teamwork at all levels is elemental in the educational environment.
Vineland Middle School is implementing a STEAM program with a focused goal of promoting mathematical, scientific, and technology based career fields among under-represented groups. “The common economy environment challenges the necessity of the increased quantity also quality of the scientifically and technically trained employees.” (Viederyte, pg. 1034) STEAM fields provide students with the greatest opportunities for future success. We are working with professionals and organizations throughout our community to develop a strong program that will prepare our students for tomorrow’s work force.
Students, teachers, and staff must prepare to work and collaborate on a global scale. It is important the teacher leaders set the example and prepare staff and students for the globalization of our culture.
