185. Cultivating Confident Decision-Makers in STEM ft. Ramin Mohajer and Alison Stumacher
How do we help kids make better decisions, such as in STEM challenges? In this episode of The STEM Space, we’re joined by Ramin Mohajer and Alison Stumacher from the Alliance for Decision Education. Ramin, a former corporate attorney turned nonprofit leader, is the Deputy Director of Organizational Development and believes students need cognitive tools—not just rules—to manage choices like screen time. Alison, a longtime educator, now works as the Deputy Director of Education to bring Decision Education into classrooms to help students navigate choices in school, relationships, and life.
Enjoy this thought-provoking conversation that may spark new ways to support your students as confident, capable decision-makers.
