How do you take similar steps? What does Black History Month mean to you as a Science Educator? Share in the comments!
Hear two modelers share steps they take to increase representation for all of their students, create safe spaces, and facilitate open dialogue about race within their science classrooms and communities.
Our celebration of Black History Month begins with a Sunday Stroll down memory lane. Revisit an early Science Modeling Talks podcast discussion and listen to Episode 7 here: sciencemodelingtalks.com/episodes/epi... #stemeducation #modelinginstruction #BlackHistoryMonth #thesundaystroll #bhm
Huge thanks to Janelle Hollingshead & Anne Goldkamp for facilitating a fantastic Modeling Coffee Hour ☕️. Their leadership makes this community special! Thrilled to have had AMTA's XO, Caroline Savio-Ramos, PhD, join, too.
