We will discuss the successes and struggles of implementing a racial literacy curriculum into a project-based science class.","Description":"We will have a conversation discussing initial thoughts about a collaborative project that involved the implementation of racial literacy skill-building in a project-based science class and our experiences as a science teacher, students, and an educational researcher.  We hope to center the voices of students as they engage in a curricula that accesses personal narratives alongside content-focused learning. We, as teacher researchers, also hope to share the benefits and challenges of combining theory and practice in the classroom.  \r\n\r\nSome of the questions we will explore include:\r\nHow do high school students in an urban public school experience the teaching of racial literacy skills in a project-based science class?\r\nHow do high school students in an urban public school describe the meaningfulness of the work they produce when introduced to racial literacy in a project-based science class?\r\nWhat are best practices for a science teacher in an urban public school who wants to facilitate conversations about racial stress in high school science classes?\r\nHow can project-based learning support a science teacher in an urban public school who includes the development of racial literacy skills in the science curriculum?","Link":["http:\/\/scholar.gse.upenn.edu\/keljones\/","http:\/\/recastingrace.com\/"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Conversational Protocol: we will rely largely on personal storytelling and using a workshop model to help participants anticipate and navigate their racial stress in K-12 classrooms, regardless of students' ages or content.","Presenter":["Jordan Adler","Kelsey Jones"],"PresenterAffiliation":["The Workshop School and University of Pennsylvania"],"PresenterEmail":["jordan.adler@workshopschool.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":78,"ScheduleLocationID":7,"SubmitterID":4735,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":6}}
