Learning in Places

“A central part of thinking about justice is to think about power and who has the power to make decisions about time and how it’s measured” -Dr. Carrie Tzou, SES professor and course co-designer. Check out the @UWBothell news spotlight!   uwb.edu/news/2023/09/0…

🌎“If we don’t offer educators the opportunity to rethink their intellectual ideas — about climate change, science, inequality — it makes it really difficult to do this work.” Megan Bang of @LearnInPlaces shares in @anya1anya's @hechingerreport column. hechingerreport.org/column-want-te…

High-quality science programs include suggestions for how to connect instruction to the students' home, neighborhood, community and/or culture. 🌱 #NGSSchat #equity

@dontworryteach Absolutely! Check out @LearnInPlaces ethical should we questions in all science investigations; Beth Warren & Ann Rosebery’s work too. @ProfTiaMadkins @noza_kayumova Let’s talk!

Please Share! LiP PIs are hiring a 3-year renewable post-doc position at the University of Washington Bothell for a new IUSE grant focused on creating equity-focused science content courses for preservice elementary science teachers. ap.washington.edu/ahr/position-d…

Cool bee story with so many "should we" questions! @BeesInTheD @LearnInPlaces @MiMathScience @richbacolor @CarlaShalaby @stemakers

Dr. Carrie Tzou @tzouct launched the @WAClimeTime summit with a brilliant overview of the @LearnInPlaces project. It is such a powerful & important effort centered on socio-ecological decision making & just action! Explore frameworks & storylines here: ➡️ learninginplaces.org

Family and home-based activities are opportunities for educators to re-think science learning in ways that put partnerships with families at the center. Frameworks and lessons from @LearnInPlaces project can support this. Read more: stemteachingtools.org/brief/77 #ngsschat #PBL #STEM

I’m talking to a local #middleschool science teacher tomorrow who is a veteran teacher, but new to science teaching. I have ideas in mind, but want to broaden them. What top 3-5 science teaching resources would you share? PD, books, videos, tools, etc? #teachertwitter #scienceEd

@starrscience @PaulLiabenow @MEMSPA @OpenSciEd @MiMathScience Thanks for the share @starrscience! Grateful to be partnered in co-designing with you all!

@PaulLiabenow @MEMSPA NGSS-aligned Science should be situated in students' lived experience & include extensive collaborative learning opportunities! @LearnInPlaces and @OpenSciEd have developed amazing OER science materials that center students & build SEL. @MiMathScience supports both these projects

Happy #PhenomenaFriday! What were the most interesting phenomena you observed this week? Here are some of my faves. I recommend checking out @LearnInPlaces to help students and families notice local phenomena. Read more: stemteachingtools.org/brief/77 #ngsschat -@SciJeanne

LiP team members are partnering with the EERC and FHNA to design outdoor backpack programs for families and adults. If you live in the greater Seattle area and would like to help shape these programs, register for one of our two upcoming workshops! eventbrite.com/e/uw-bothell-e…
