PSAS Fulton Heights STEAM Teacher Drew Hirshon shares his Story of Resilience with #ResilientPueblo.
“Innovation, by definition, is making something new or better. In essence, education is in an innovative state because the world is transforming before our eyes. If we as educators don’t evolve, we will be sending our students into the workforce with skills not suitable for the 21st and 22nd centuries.”

PSAS Fulton Heights STEAM Teacher Drew Hirshon shares his Story of Resilience with Resilient Pueblo. As part of the new Youth Channel at Broadcast Pueblo, Mr. Hirshon is asking his students to express their shared reality stories of social distancing in their own unique way. We plan to share these stories on the new Youth Channel at Broadcast Pueblo when completed.
Today the Green Schools National Network featured Mr Hirshon’s article, “The Next Best Thing: Preparing Students for Work in the 21st and 22nd Centuries“, which explains in great detail his methodology which includes planning & ideation, equity in education, critique & revision, and the role of a pubic audience.
Mr. Hirshon is a K-8 STEAM educator in Pueblo, Colorado. He is also a National Faculty of PBLWorks. Drew believes that all students, especially those furthest from opportunity, deserve high-quality project-based learning and opportunities for deeper learning. He also believes that it’s his duty to prepare ALL learners for the workforce of tomorrow. To accomplish his mission, he creates a classroom culture that fosters a “makers” mindset of empathy, creativity, collaboration, perseverance, and reflection. He hopes that his students will never be afraid to fail because they know they will grow from every experience.
Broadcast Pueblo is actively sharing stories on the front line of this health crisis and the perspective of our youth is essential to understand the full impact on our communities.
