Stepping Up STEM: Bridging Students to Careers
Abstract
Lackland Independent School District (LISD) is located on Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, or "Military City USA" as it is affectionately referred. For LISD, the goal is to provide students with numerous opportunities to acquire skills and strategies that prepare them for their chosen future pursuits. Lackland ISD s reputation for academic excellence has been sustained over the years because we endeavor to pursue all opportunities that benefit our students. We emerged from the weight of the pandemic more dedicated to ensuring that our students are equipped with the 21st Century Skills necessary to choose and pursue any post-secondary career or educational opportunity available to them. We ve experienced the need for instant adaptability over the last two years, while working to build within our students the mental and emotional capacity associated with dynamic changes. It s our vision to restore academic confidence in STEM- related courses for our elementary students and expand our STEM and CTE offerings to our secondary students. Our students desire to be influencers, content creators, innovators, and more as they positively contribute to society. We are determined to equip them with the tools, space, skills, and knowledge needed to forge ahead by connecting them with a first-class education and access to industry experts.
