Celebration of Student Research and Creativity

     This week was the culmination of a project and presentation we have been working on for a little while here. At Northern Kentucky University, we had the amazing privilege of being able to do a twenty minute presentation at this year's Celebration of Student Research and Creativity about what we have accomplished over the past couple semesters and how the 5E Model is more inclusive and modern than the preceding front-loading and teacher-lead models of the past. We began the presentation with talking about what the 5E Model is and how the students we were teaching to were involved in this model both on an individual lesson level and also as a week-long module level. Then we went on to talk about how we, as student workers and student instructors, were experiencing the 5E model ourselves while we learned the content we needed to in order to teach and as we actually learned about the 5E model. Afterwards, we described our personal experiences and how being involved in the program has impacted us both on a personal and professional level.
