"Science in The City" Book Discussion

by , posted on 8:50 AM, July 11, 2022
MnSTA President Jill Jensen will be hosting a virtual book discussion of "Science in the City" by Bryan A Brown. This book “examines how language and culture matter for effective science teaching,’’ and provides a great opportunity to reflect on the way we use science language with students.
