Transforming science teaching and learning in school: Empowering teachers and students as climate justice action researchers and change agents
Contact
Description
ETR is serving as the external evaluator for a National Science Foundation DRK-12 CAREER project (2148014) that aims to transform science teaching by training teachers in how to lead community-engaged, relevant science research (urban heat islands in racially/ethnically diverse communities) with their students as well as investigate how students’ participation shapes their learning and identity construction in science. The project will develop a graduate-level teacher preparation course focused on climate justice action research and follow teachers and students through multiple iterative cycles of professional development and school-year classroom implementations.
