Excited to hear about the @NSSMEatHRI results related to equity! #NARST2019
Examining equity in the national survey results. Presenters also recognize that not all factors that matter can be measured #NARST2019 
First up, results related to well-prepared teachers. #NARST2019
Science teachers who teach students with higher prior achievement have higher levels of overall preparedness to teach science #NARST2019
Next, a look at PD for science teacher. Overall low levels for science-focused PD for teachers. #NARST2019
Rural schools tend to have lowest levels of science PD. #NARST2019
Spending on science per pupil different by grade, spending outpaced inflation at elementary and high school. About $60 per class per year at elementary. #NARST2019
Highest increase in spending for affluent students to support science. #NARST2019
Bright spot: students in least affluent schools are more likely to have access to after school help in science or engineering. #NARST2019
But science and engineering clubs more likely to exist in larger schools. #NARST2019
Finally, national survey results related to instruction. Presenters remind us that it is hard to measure quality through surveys. #NARST2019
Classes with higher percentage of students historically underrepresented in STEM get more science instructional time at elementary grades. #NARST2019
AP science courses are more likely to be offered in large schools, suburban schools, and more affluent schools. #NARST2019
High school science course enrollment decreases for students historically underrepresented in STEM. Don't see similar trends for female students. #NARST2019
Differences in instructional activities. Progress to be made. #NARST2019
