Overview
Anti Racism Inquiry Science Education: Opportunities for a Preservice Education Network (ARISE OPEN) is a collaboration among the Berkeley Teacher Education Program (BTEP) leadership team, learning scientists at the Berkeley School of Education, and BTEP teachers. The partnership will co-design customizable curriculum units that integrate standards-aligned STEM topics in local social justice issues and foster equity- and justice-centered teaching practices. Teachers will be supported through a series of workshops and the BTEP STEM Methods course to jointly localize these units for their students and to engage in research cycles to refine the units and teaching practices. This will lead to a library of open curriculum units and teaching practices that can be customized for specific contexts by future student teachers and teachers, fostering the BTEP equity- and justice-centered pedagogy across pre-college classrooms.
