    It’s Time for Science Podcast Episode 18: STEM Learning
    2024/11/11
    Closing out the second season of It's Time for Science, it's time to talk about STEM learning and women in STEM! Host Tom Racine talks with teacher Stacy Gale and science communicator Dr. Alex Dainis! Stacy Gale is currently a 4th grade teacher and the former STEM specialist at Paul Cuffee School in Providence, RI. Her love of outdoor education began when she was a camp counselor in Lake George, NY. Ms. Gale has been a GEMS-Net Science Teacher Leader since 2014. Prior to that, she was chosen to be a Science Communication Fellow onboard the EV Nautilus, where she learned about a multitude of STEM careers while exploring the depths of the ocean with Dr. Robert Ballard and his team. In 2018 she won the Greenovation Award for Environmental Innovation and STEM through Project Green School; in 2022 she was named the Rhode Island Environmental Education Association Teacher of the Year, and she was a Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) state finalist in 2024. Tom and Ms. Gale discuss why STEM education is important in to teach in schools; taking S(cience)- lessons and adding the -TEM; what got her interested in teaching STEM; STEM as the easiest way to engage students; how STEM can help students find pathways into careers; how STEM brings all the 21st century skills together like nothing else; teaching students how to fail; the importance of improving equitable access to STEM; how STEM relates to the science of reading; why teachers and parents need to keep pushing for incorporating more STEM; showing all students themselves in the field; resources and suggestions for teachers; and what it might mean for a district to have a STEM specialist. Dr. Alex Dainis is a freelance science communicator and video producer with over a decade of
    experience producing digital, educational content for the web. Her background includes a PhD
    in genetics from Stanford University, and she was honored to be a 2019 Jackson Wild Media
    Lab Fellow. Recent projects include “Hungry Planet,” a six-episode series for PBS Digital
    Studios. She is additionally the project coordinator for the Camille and Henry Dreyfus
    Foundation’s Chemistry Shorts ® Program and a host and writer for the American Chemical
    Society’s Reactions YouTube channel. She is a recent recipient of the 2024 National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications. Tom and Dr. Dainis talk about why STEM education is critical for preparing people to make decisions about science; how personal experiences for students may change their lives; Dr. Dainis' personal experiences in being mentored and inspired; the critical thinking skills developed through STEM education that transcend science; the importance of getting women and girls excited but also helping them stay in STEM; why representation matters; what got her started in science communication; her work in helping people feel welcomed into ongoing conversations in science; some of the new communication work she’s excited about; and how she tries to showcase passion in her work.

    It’s Time for Science Podcast Episode 17: ELD and Science Instruction
    2024/10/21
    This month on It's Time for Science, it's time to talk about ELD (English language development) and science instruction! Host Tom Racine talks with Diana B. Vélez and Veronica Gallardo. Diana B. Vélez is a curriculum developer and professional learning provider for the Full Option Science System Project (FOSS K–8) at the Lawrence Hall of Science. She specializes in English language development and the integration of literacy in science teaching and learning. Ms. Vélez assists in the development and implementation of FOSS instructional materials and creates pedagogical resources that support access and equity. She also leads professional learning experiences for educators, administrators, families, and community members using FOSS instructional materials to develop scientific literacy, teacher capacity, and systemic change in schools and districts across the country and internationally. Before coming to the Lawrence Hall of Science, Ms. Vélez was the instructional leader for a science-centered elementary school in Oakland, California and was a founding-member and teacher in a Spanish dual-immersion program. Veronica Gallardo is a bilingual reading specialist and science consultant. In the last fifteen years, she has held multiple professional and volunteer roles; a kindergarten, first grade, and middle school teacher, a site administrator for two elementary schools, and volunteers her time in support of community literacy initiatives. She holds a Master of Science, Literacy and Reading, a Certificate in Education Finance, and the following CA credentials: multiple subject, reading specialist, and administrative. She can be reached at www.readingliteracyspecialists.com Tom talks with Ms. Vélez and Ms. Gallardo about the importance of connecting ELD and science instruction; the correlation of oral vocabulary and the ability to read words; and the research and experience supporting active science as one of the best places to develop language skills. They go into depth discussing the relationship between the FOSS Project and Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD): FOSS has existing resources for ELD and ELA instruction and worked with SBUSD to help create lessons and units that aligned with the FOSS curriculum. They talk about looking deeper at why are kids talking?; are they explaining, analyzing, arguing?; how kids learn best while learning in context; the importance of oral learning for all students; and how impactful it is for teachers to see what their students are capable of when given the chance. Ms. Gallardo and Ms. Vélez provide some examples from working with students, and how invigorating it is to see the connections students are able to make. They close the discussion talking about equity in the classroom connected to speaking/reading/listening/writing all in tandem with doing science; how there is variability in the rate of development for all students; focussing on having a shared experience where all students can engage; and the importance of focussing on the the needs of particular students so that you can know what those students need to fully participate and be able to access the curriculum. Producer David Lippman also has a few words about Amy Tan's amazing book, The Backyard Bird Chronicles, published by Knopf. It’s Time for Science!

Tom talks with Ms. Lausten and Dr. Slavick about what exactly the science of reading is; how sections of students' brains have to work together to take text and turn it into knowledge; what Scarborough’s Reading Rope is that they discuss in their paper; the importance of incorporating background knowledge; how much more likely students are to pick up vocabulary in context (including science vocabulary!); how kids can become experts in science vocabulary through relating it to their actual experiences; how sentence frames can help students learn; the critical need for sense-making; and how all the new vocabulary and sense-making work to make text more engaging and accessible. They discuss ELD instruction and how science can work across curricula and help kids feel successful, among many other things!
