I would have appreciated hearing from a teacher on this panel. It’s great to talk about what teaching science should look like, but that conversation is incomplete without the perspective of the teacher responsible for making that happen.
I really valued the focus on equity in Dr. Schweingruber’s address. It’s an important issue that I don’t feel gets enough air time.

Will you ever make transcripts, power points, or contents available to members? We would continue the conversation with peers who had graduate class or other obligations if we could share this information.
Thank you.

Deborah,
Thank you for your response. We are currently in the process of creating a “members-only” section of our website which will make recorded past programs available online through streaming video to members. We will let all of our members know when this launches.
Thanks!

I just joined your group and I have been browsing your web site. As an Educator, I agree with the comment suggesting that actual teachers be included in the panel. A teacher from college, high school, middle school and elementary school would have insightful comments to add to the discussion concerning what transpires for science education across the spectrum of education.
