Bringing a Justice Orientation to K-12 STEM Teaching & Learning with Dr. Tan and Dr. Calabrese Bart

Note: This is a recording of a lecture broadcast during a NOVA Education webinar on November 10, 2020.

Calls to increase equity in teaching and learning are often framed only around inclusion — ensuring that learning opportunities are available for all students. Unfortunately, this perspective of equity is limiting and does not adequately address how systemic injustices manifest in classroom practice and impact student learning. In this workshop, Dr. Edna Tan and Dr. Angela Calabrese Barton will share a justice-oriented framework that highlights how STEM educators can make connections to the realities and issues that guide students’ lives, sharing case studies drawn from formal and informal STEM teaching and learning.
