As with all of our STEM Teaching Tools, you can get to the more polished PDF formatted version from the landing page of the resource. It is a great format to share with others and to use during events! #NGSSchat #NGSS #SciEd
Hi everyone: We just published a NEW STEM TEACHING TOOL that shows how to promote the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through community-centered approaches to #SciEd and #NGSS.
The resource links to supporting frameworks and includes tons of practical guidance for supporting ecological, human & economic health. The #SDGs are centered on social and multispecies justice. You can promote global equity by teaching in support of these #GlobalGoals.
Hi all: I recently gave an overview presentation of our collection of educator learning resources on how to #TeachClimate. It includes dozens of resources that gather powerful approaches and tools from a broad variety of #ClimateJustice education projects. We are so grateful that they shared their work at a crucial moment of societal response. 🙏
Here are the links to the recording and slides…

New STEM Teaching Tool (PLS BOOST)
Over the past 9 years, we have published a collection of professional learning resources to help educators teach science & STEM in equitable ways (#NSFfunded). Check out & share our latest one…
Do you want to get your students outdoors and help them connect with and better understand nature in #SciEd? Check out this fabulous new STEM Teaching Tools on approaches and tools to the study of local phenomena through NATURE JOURNALING.🌏🌿💚
We're developing open teacher learning resources on #ClimateJustice & #EnvironmentalJustice
Here's Climate Ed Tool #2: Leveraging Environmental Justice to Unlock the Potential of Education
When Might You Use It: To introduce teachers to environmental justice through a rich historical / scientific case study, to help them consider goals of science, to support them in brainstorming how to select & incorporate local environmental justice phenomena into their curriculum
We reflected on this powerful framework from Deeper Iyer for understanding the dynamic range of roles individuals within groups, organizations, & networks engaged in equity & justice work.
See the Building Movement Project for details…
🌿 https://buildingmovement.org/our-work/movement-building/social-change-ecosystem-map/
We used the framework to explore our own roles, reflect on efforts we have been part of, understand various sociocritical dimensions of the work, and discuss the importance of ongoing dialogue and relationship building within movements.
In Session 4, we spent our time primarily focused on exploring the readings & media described above.
Slides for Session 4 are here:

As we wade into storytelling as a key social practice for cultivating the cultural transformations needed to respond to the #ClimateCrisis, we reflected on this quote shown from Dr. Donna Haraway. She was building from the powerful feminist insight of Dr. Marilyn Strathern: “it matters what ideas we use to think other ideas (with).”
