NEW RESOURCE: The current administration took down many federal #EnvironmentalJustice & #ClimateJustice databases. Our new @stemteachingtool.bsky.social lifts up various efforts that have republished those vital data & visualization tools: ➡️ stemteachingtools.org/brief/106 #SciEd #TeachClimate

Screenshot of the new STEM Teaching Tool #106 linked in the post. The title is Defending and Leveraging Public Climate & Environmental Justice Data (DRAFT). The image is a black computer error screen that reads:

Love using @stemteachingtool.bsky.social resources. Especially one that states, ""One way that White Supremacy, patriarchy, and late stage capitalism is reinforced in education is by focusing STEM storylines and instructional examples on socially dominant and resource consumption-obsessed efforts.”

PLS SHARE #SciEd #NGSS The UW @stemteachingtool.bsky.social team just published a NEW TOOL on how the words we use to describe the ecological world matters! Since language reflects & constructs power we should root our words in environmental justice & flourishing. ➡️ stemteachingtools.org/brief/104

STEM Teaching Tool #104

Watch Your Language! Because Words Help Create Socio-Ecological Worlds

Background image includes a range of words of varying sizes and colors including: Rights of Nature, Regenerate, Climate Crisis, Relationally, Just Transition, Degrowth, Indigenous Language Revitalization, Overburden, Kin, and others.

Free Teacher Learning Resources to Support NGSS Implementation

What Are They?

The National Research Council's A Framework for X-12 Science Education and the resulting Next Generation Science Standards (NCSS) represent a new vision to help all students understand the natural and built world. As educators realize this new vision, many problems of practice come up. STEM Teaching Tools are co-authored by teachers and researchers to illuminate these issues and give advice about how to accomplish specific pieces of the NGSS. The resources are short. direct. easily shareable, and offer links to other useful tools.

WHY THEY MATTER TO YOU

Teachers need tools to reflect on how their teaching aligns with the NGSS & NRC Framework vision These teacher learning resources have been designed to be easily shared with others.

District staff & PD providers can use these tools in professional development to support implementation of the new vision.

Schoolleaders can use the tools to understand crucial aspects of the new vision for K-12 science education and then implement plans to support teachers' professional growth.

FUNDED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
THROUGH THE ACESSE PROJECT (COSSS. ORG/ACESSE)
