I was recently reading the June 20, 2025 blog posting on the National Science Teachers Association website.
The blog was posted by Susan Deemer and the title of her blog post was "Why Teaching Science to Girls Now is More Important Than Ever."
Susan said that the longer she teaches, the more she realizes that cultivating a scientific mindset is the most important thing that she can teach, particularly when teaching girls, as she has for most of her career. This is important for two reasons:
1. Scientific thinking can help eradicate self-defeating thought patterns and deconstruct stereotypes about girls and women perpetuated for generations.
2. A scientific mindset is critical as girls grow up to become consumers of products, news, and services, as well as citizens who effect change in their communities.
