Divergent thinking refers to creativity. It is possible for students to learn creative thinking. Teachers must focus on the journey rather than the destination because every student is different. Their end results are not going to be the same. “It’s our job as ag teachers to teach students how to think, not what to think.”

18/01/2022 Duration: 22minGuest: Nicole Guise from Pennsylvania State University Main Points: As a whole, ag teachers do not feel extremely confident in incorporating STEM content into their lessons.
