Proposal Title: The Underrepresentation Curriculum
Abstract Type: Poster
Abstract: How can we support STEM students in discussing inequity and justice to empower them to take action? We offer the Underrepresentation Curriculum: a free, modular, teacher-created resource. Our lesson plans and supporting materials explore issues of representation, identity and systems in society and in STEM. Students apply scientific practices (asking questions, analyzing data, constructing hypotheses, and evaluating information) to explore these big ideas and take action within the context of STEM. Come to this poster to learn more and join thousands of teachers in implementing this curriculum in your own classroom!
