Student Awakener - Hema Bhaskaran

Great Minds - A Podcast from Frisco, Texas

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts. And Winning doesn’t always mean being first. Winning means you’re doing better than you’ve done before. My guest is my friend, my well wisher and my college mate, Hemalatha Bhaskaran who has recently honored with 2020 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Hema has been teaching at James M. Bennett High School (one of the Wicomico county public schools) since 2004. In her classroom, she focuses on developing 21st-century skills through real-world scientific exploration and problem solving. This is not the first time that Hema has been recognized as an outstanding teacher. She has also secured the 2014 Maryland’s Environmental Science Teacher of the Year. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bala-subramanium/support
