Place-Based Learning: | |

This includes the NGSS, OpenSciEd, Disciplinary Core Ideas, Engineering, Science Practices, and Cross-Cutting Concepts. | Share ways to attend to student learning. Especially in ways that are accessible to all students. This includes general science pedagogy, culturally responsive science, universal design for learning, sensemaking, civic engagement, and project-based learning. | Science learning is contextual and centering student learning in where they live and about what they want to change is needed! Share about outdoor, climate, environmental, and sustainability education. |
