As with all of our @STEMTeachTools practice briefs, you can get to the more polished PDF formatted version from the landing page of the resource. #NGSSchat#NGSS#SciEd
That should be Dr. @django_paris. My apologies for that oversight! Also, congratulations on the recent promotion to full professor, Django! Your contributions to the world continue to transform it towards justice. Thank you!!

Excited to share the web site for the CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN EDUCATION grad seminar I'm teaching with @jnprezzo this term. We'll share readings, resources & ideas based on our inquiry. #UWClimateEd sites.google.com/uw.edu/climate…
The approach we are taking with the course is that of an interdisciplinary research group focused on education. We will collectively inquire, learn, imagine, design & share our thinking over the course of the term.
We invite you to follow along & join in through #UWClimateEd
The driving question of our shared inquiry will be:
How can we promote learning in order to create more just, thriving, and regenerative conditions for all Earthly beings, human and otherwise?
Together we will think across timescales, contexts for learning, and worldviews.
@drloriandersen Great wonderings! My take: (1) Given a PRACTICE TURN perspective on 3D learning, multiple ways of knowing directly relate to culturally diverse forms of SEPs in ways that overlap & extend beyond those of the Euro-Western sciences.
@drloriandersen (1 cont) But cultural perspectives go beyond epistemic practices—and open up into worldviews involving knowledge (concepts, models, etc), ethics, morals & values. Ontologies & axiologies all get enacted in activity—since there is only praxis as a result of the Practice Turn.
@drloriandersen (2) I think AAAS did us a great service by historically putting the so-framed natural & social sciences inside the frame of science. It helps disrupt the colonial separation between people and nature & opens up space to consider intersections, relationality & entanglement.
If we played the (somewhat serious) game of nominating important science & engineering practices missing from the carefully chosen 8 in #NGSS / Framework, one I would quickly nominate is NOTICING.
NOTICING is an embodied & multi-sensorial practice. It is foundational to making sense of & shaping the natural-cultural world.
It supports wondering, pattern-seeking, systems theorizing, seeking relevancies, tending to relations, identifying political connections & the 8 SEPs.
NOTICING involves careful & often collaborative sensing in context — through looking, smelling, feeling, hearing & tasting. It is learned in embodied ways.
NOTICING feeds directly into the other science & engineering practices.
