Your organization field and mission

IAL FVG

Please tell us briefly about your role at your organization:

STEM teacher and coordinator of IVET courses.

Your interest in STEM

I have always been curious about how things worked or how things happened.

My middle school and three-year high school science teachers.

Your studies

The biggest challenge: the many chemistry exams with general chemistry as a propaedeutic for most exams.

When a subject is chosen that one likes (not because it has a secure career outlet) it is easier to overcome a more difficult subject.

You at work

Transmitting content in various ways: lessons with the use of videos in Italian and English to make certain topics understood.

Use of wordsearch grids to become familiar with the words of the subject I teach with varying degrees of difficulty.

Use of kahoot and wordwall activities for sharing content.

Getting a few students interested in the subject I teach.

Believe in what they have chosen and do not give up at the first hurdle.

Your point of view

Knowledge always enriches everyone and, in many areas, due to the lack of recognition of gender equality, women are not recognized for the value of their scientific knowledge.

If that is what they want to do and like, they must believe and persevere.

I hope that every future worker regardless of gender, nationality can choose the job they prefer.

To finish with

Work while maintaining a firm focus without losing patience.
