Seizing Opportunities in 2021: Building on What We Know
Almost 25 years ago, AAAS convened a National Science Foundation supported conference to consider how best to train science and mathematics teachers. Interestingly, the attendees were one hundred and two deans, the dean of education and the dean of science from fifty-one institutions. The report of that conference, “Seizing Opportunities: Collaborating for Excellence in Teacher... Read More

Assuming Brilliance in Boys of Color in Our STEM Education Classrooms
By way of the historically persistent school-to-prison pipeline, boys of color are more likely to face destructive and unjust systems of oppression in their everyday school settings. Compared to their White peers, boys of color are punished more often and more severely for the same infractions in schools and are often subjected to increased levels... Read More

What Are Teachers Learning About the Science of Learning?
Teaching is an applied science. Deans for Impact, the nonprofit organization I helped found, believes that all teachers should understand basic principles of learning science, and be able to use that knowledge to inform their instruction. For the past year, Deans for Impact has been working with six teacher-preparation programs to integrate learning science —... Read More

Program Evaluation Frameworks: Why Do They Matter?
The role of evaluation in National Science Foundation (NSF) projects has become critically important. Evaluation produces information that can be utilized to improve the project. Information on how different aspects of the project are working and the extent to which the goals and objectives are being met is essential to a continuous improvement process. Additionally,...

How Do Teachers Learn to Work Against Oppressive Systems?
Why are some teachers able to expand students’ access to STEM while others are not? Students from marginalized communities are systematically denied STEM learning opportunities, but some teachers manage to disrupt unjust policies and create more equitable learning environments. Schools are difficult places to make change (Little, 2003), so we wanted to better understand how... Read More
