What IS Social Justice Teaching in the Science Classroom?
Join NSTA for this special four-part, interactive, virtual miniseries, which is jointly hosted by the Association for Multicultural Science Education (AMSE) and NSTA’s Committee on Multicultural / Equity in Science Education. Scheduled throughout the month of March, this miniseries is your source for resources and strategies for motivating and enhancing the participation of traditionally underrepresented students in science through the lens of equity and social justice.
The one-price registration(members $60 Early Bird by Feb 28) includes attendance to all four (4) parts of the mini-series. You can opt to attend all four of the 2.5-hour Saturday sessions; drop in on one (or more sessions), or view them as your schedule permits. The last 30 minutes of the session will be a roundtable discussion for participants to ask additional questions and/or share their own experiences and stories.
