The “Co-learn with us: A curriculum to explore equity and inclusion in STEM” is a professional development opportunity focused on the Underrepresentation Curriculum (URC), designed to help educators integrate equity and inclusion into science teaching. Aimed at middle school and above, including the Grade 9 de-streamed science course (SNC1W), this four-day program (August 15-18) involves 1.5-hour sessions where participants will explore URC lessons and discuss their application in the classroom. The program emphasizes understanding how equity, inclusion, and injustice impact science and aims to enhance student engagement and achievement, particularly among historically underrepresented groups.
