New article: Masculinized discourses of STEM interest, performance, and competence that shape university STEM students' recognition of a “STEM person” Check their @heidician, @remydou RB and VA to explore more.

"Of all the arguments supporting increased investment in STEM education... (one) argument eclipses each of them: STEM improves the lives of individuals... and in so doing,... improves communities and the country at large." in --> fas.org/publication/k-… #STEMeducation #STEM

Why do we persist in #tracking students in high school science classes, when we know evidence does not support it? I talk about that a bit in a recent blog post (and the coming part 2 will share a school's story in this regard) - wisdpiscience.blogspot.com/2024/05/why-is…

Ever wondered *why* project-based learning can be so effective? We explore 5 reasons why #PBL can lead to better outcomes for all students. 🙌

How do you feel about #tracking in high school #science courses? I think we can do better. Research generally shows it negatively affects students. Check out a case study of how one high school in Wisconsin got rid of 9th and 10th grade tracking. wisdpiscience.blogspot.com/2024/09/detrac…

Grateful to Sarah Blechacz who guest wrote my most recent blog post - wisdpiscience.blogspot.com/2025/02/wauwat…. She tells the story of the Wauwatosa School Dist working toward improving access for all students to great high school science! It is part 3 of my #detracking #science series.
