A Englewood STEM Golden Apple winner and a Lockport Township High School educator talked about keeping students engaged during COVID-19 challenges.
"Our youth is facing unprecedented mental health challenges following the pandemic. Teaching - a rewarding profession - may be more challenging than ever," said U.S. Surgeon General Vice Admiral Vivek H. Murthy.
Corey Duzan teaches at Lockport Township High School. He just received the National Project Lead the Way "Engineering Teacher of the Year" Award. He acknowledged when a lot of people hear "engineering," they think it's kind of a "scary subject, very difficult and very challenging. And overall, it is."
"What we did was absolutely unbelievable in a very short amount of time," Duzan added about the adjustments made at the beginning of the pandemic."We started setting up a lot of support because of this. We're having time, one-on-one, face-to-face interventions with teachers. We started that a lot more with COVID and that has actually carried over right now," said Duzan. "We know that there are students who need that support and we're giving that to them.
