Teacher Feature: Barbara Thornton, Evergreen After School Club
Did you know that over 10 million students take part in after-school programs in the United States? The demand for high-quality after-school programs is constantly on the rise as more and more students live in households where their parents or guardians work full-time jobs. Trying to find a way to keep students motivated without it seeming too much like “school after school” can present challenges. This month, we speak with Barb Thornton, who uses The Inventionland Institute Curriculum at the Evergreen Boys and Girls Club to help build students’ self a-STEAM.
