Collaborative Conversations for Equitable Practices

In this workshop, participants explore a specialized tool designed to assist early career STEM teachers (ECSTs) in identifying factors within complex systems that impact collaborative relationships between colleagues. This tool aids ECSTs in meaningful discussions about implementing equitable teaching practices across all grade bands and content levels, fostering shifts in their own and their colleagues’ approaches. Attendees will also gain insights into challenges ECSTs face in initiating such discussions and receive initial guidance on fostering supportive environments for these dialogues.

This presentation will be given at AMTE 2025, Saturday February 8, by Knowles Program Officer, Teacher Development, Gina Wilson and Associate Director of Teacher Development Joyce Lin.
