Oh, this is a response to Q6, not Q1.

[Hosun Kang @hosunkang]

A1: A few collaborating teachers in my project are leading the PD this summer & sharing their experiences. https://t.co/5Ji1bkUzrr We will also share curriculum materials in a near future. #NSTAchat

[Hosun Kang @hosunkang]

Problematizing means that they can see how those things contribute to create opportunity gap for minoritized students. In addition to developing this increased critical awareness, they need experiences of developing a new vision of equity and justice-centered science instruction.

[Hosun Kang @hosunkang]

A5: Pre-service & in-service educators need well-designed experiences that help them to recognize the contributors of inequity and injustice (their own self, unjust disciplinary pedagogy, unjust system) AND problematize those contributors in relation to students' OTL. #NSTAchat

[Hosun Kang @hosunkang]

A4: There are so many strategies to tap into students' experiences when planning, teaching, and assessing! Recently we found using curriulum-embedded, unconventional assessment one promising strategy. #NSTAchat

[Hosun Kang @hosunkang]

@caahayes A3: One big lesson that we've got is that equity is not something that we can address using a few strategies. Equity is NOT a checklist. There are many things that we can do with a critical awareness in every single moment, and in every single decision-making.

[Hosun Kang @hosunkang]

A2: To promote equity, we should be able to see inequity & injustice--including how various elements inside and outside classrooms contribute to creating inequitable & unjustice learning opportunity. We need to first develop a critical eye to see it and take action #NSTAchat

I am Hosun Kang, Associate Professor at UC Irvine. I have a privilege of working with amazing science teachers through my secondary science methods course and beyond #NSTAchat

[Hosun Kang @hosunkang]

#NSTAchat Glad to be a part of this #NSTAChat tonight on enhancing #equity in secondary science education and sharing our recent article in #ScienceScope adapting existing curriculum for equitable learning experience -https://t.co/k67pjRDDrr
