Come check out our work at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Learning Sciences! Our papers and presentations include:
Designing for Discourse: Enacting Responsive Teaching through Code Reflections in a Computational Modeling Unit explores how educators can help students dig into simulation code, and the scientific concepts the code represents. This paper is part of the MoDa (A2S) project and includes Brendan and Michelle as authors.
Erin and Cici will be sharing their latest work on Supporting the Role Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments Play in Developing Blind and Low Vision Learners’ Nonvisual Spatial Literacies and Tactile Graphicacy.
In Exploring How Teacher Educators Critically Reason with Data, Zohal reports on the ways that a variety of teacher educators – that is, the professors who educate future K-12 teachers – worked to integrate data-based activities into their coursework. This work was part of the Writing Data Stories project, in collaboration with CUNY’s Computing Integrated Teacher Education program.
Work by CoRE members and our colleagues will be featured in two contributions to a symposium entitled Climate Education for Justice: Navigating Geographies, Data, and Agency organized by Asli Sezen-Barrie and Hosun Kang. Helen and colleagues will present Designing to build capacity for quantitative empathy in climate justice learning, and Emily and colleagues will be presenting Towards environmental justice by reading against quantitative data.
Helen and several other members of the Justice Centered Climate Change Pedagogies project will also be presenting a practical tool that can help teachers design community-based climate and environment activities for their classrooms in Justice-Centered Climate and Environmental Learning: A Design Tool.
