Katie Wade-Jaimes (Teaching and Learning) was awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER Award for her project, "Identifying, Enabling, and Supporting Racial Justice in Science Teaching." This project addresses the ongoing marginalization of people of color from science fields by exploring antiracism in science education at the K-12 levels in order to provide science teachers with the resources they need to enact antiracist science teaching in their classrooms. With this five-year grant, Wade-Jaimes will develop a framework for racial justice in science teaching, including exemplars in antiracist science teaching, and develop and deliver professional development for current science teachers and teacher educators based on the framework.
