Dr. Demetrius Roberts, special consultant for STEM and computer science with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, joins us to share his remarkable educational journey and the powerful lessons it offers for today's educators. Growing up in Philadelphia's diverse urban landscape and attending a Career and Technical Education high school fundamentally shaped Dr. Roberts' approach to teaching.
This realization sparked a turning point in his teaching philosophy. After discovering his high school students struggling with basic math during a history lesson, he embraced cross-curricular teaching, finding ways to incorporate math, writing, and creative expression into his social studies classroom. His mantra became "build, make, do" – transforming passive learning into active engagement. Dr. Roberts offers unique perspective on Pennsylvania's education landscape from his state-level position.
