Integrating Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion
(DEAI) in
the STEM Classroom
Sponsoring Company: Carolina Biological Supply Co.
STEM is not just about integrating
science, technology,
engineering, and math. Dr.
Carol O’Donnell discusses how schools can support
STEM students and teachers of diverse backgrounds through
curricula, professional development,
and leadership development that take an integrated approach to
diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion in K–12 STEM. Participants will learn about several free Smithsonian
resources to integrate inclusive design into K–12 STEM curricula, apply PD
strategies for teaching English learners and girls in STEM,
and diversify the STEM teaching workforce.

Planning for
a Responsive Relaunch
Sponsoring Company: Amplify
What have we
learned during the past year about what we
most value about
teaching and learning? Where does science fit in a
responsive relaunch? Join leaders from UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science as we reflect on
these questions and begin to explore how to capitalize on a
phenomenon-based approach to create a culture that values student
voice and fosters curiosity and engagement.

Marketplace Partner Keynote: Creating
Inclusive STEM Classrooms to Support All Students from Diverse
Backgrounds
Sponsoring Company: BrainPOP
STEM fields do not currently reflect the
diversity in our country. Not every student will need to be a scientist or engineer
but every student should be able to envision themselves in a
STEM field. How do we create inclusive classrooms to
support all students from diverse backgrounds?

Marketplace Partner Keynote: A New Awakening: Taking Care
of the Social and Emotional Needs of Students and
Teachers
Sponsoring Company: STEMscopes by Accelerate Learning
This past year put a spotlight on the
social and emotional needs of our teachers and students. Let’s step back and
look through a renewed lens at what really matters. While good teaching is the
hallmark of student success in the classroom,
this can only happen when teachers and students are in a good frame of mind
and position to care for one another. We'll tackle this critical
issue with relevant tools and suggestions. Learning from this
past year can transform education forever.

Keynote: Computational Thinking: Riding the Next Wave of Student
Engagement
Sponsoring Company: PASCO Scientific
How do we capture the attention of
our digitally tuned students today? The answer came from an experiment in 2013
called “an hour of code.” Today, coding and computational thinking is the new
wave that is capturing students’ attention worldwide. New approaches in the
U.K., Sweden, Norway, and even the U.S.’s NGSS
all use this cleverly disguised critical-thinking skill to
excite, engage, and educate the future generations. We will
investigate this new instructional wave together.

Marketplace Partner Keynote: Science
Denial—From Climate to COVID: How Educators Can Make a
Difference
Sponsoring Company: Savvas Learning Co.
Public opinion in the U.S. continues
to demonstrate a surprising unwillingness to embrace the scientific consensus on
major issues affecting the country and the world. This problem relates to
popular perceptions of science and scientists, placing science educators in the
crosshairs of this
conflict. We will suggest ways in which science
educators can play a key role in regaining the
cultural high ground in American society.
