Welcome to the STEM Program and to 6th grade Earth Science! My name is Mr. Shane Williams, and I am excited for a year full of learning. This is my twelfth year teaching, and my fifth year at Lee County Middle School East. I earned my B.S. in Middle Grades Education from Georgia Southwestern University. I am certified to teach science in grades 4-8, math grades 4-8, and social studies in grades 4-8 as well as being endorsed in gifted education. I was a the 2017-2018 district finalist for Teacher of the Year for the Dougherty County School System, and was listed and one of Southwest Georgia's 40 under 40 in 2017.

STEM is what we do every day in my class. Students lead the exploration and learning, and I facilitate while guiding them in the right direction. In my classroom we explore earth science content through a variety of learning strategies. Labs, webquests, projects, group assignments, technology-based activities, and oral presentations are some of the experiences that STEM students will encounter. We learn to problem solve and communicate while discovering all aspects of planet Earth. My expectations for STEM Students are set very high throughout the learning process. I look forward to challenging my students and watching them become better learners and leaders.
