    Presenter: Elizabeth Johnson, Denver Public Schools

    Learn how students have revolutionized culturally and linguistically sustaining teaching and learning in Denver Public Schools. Engage with student stories, research, and district leaders to understand how one district is changing the narrative of how to select high quality instructional materials. Participants will leave with knowledge and resources to determine what science instructional materials are culturally and linguistically sustaining.

    This session will help district and school science leaders learn how to select high quality instructional materials that center ALL of our students' cultures and linguistic repertoires. Participants will engage with Dr. Bryan Brown's research, the students' stories that launched the work, and the Culturally and Sustaining Material Audit Tool.

    PENNSELA Statewide STEELS Admin PLC

    The PENNSELA Statewide STEELS Admin Professional Learning Community (PLC) is a collaborative network designed to support administrators across Pennsylvania in implementing the PA STEELS Standards with fidelity and impact. This PLC provides a space for educational leaders to engage in targeted discussions, share best practices, and develop actionable strategies for fostering three-dimensional, equity-centered science education.

    Through regular meetings, expert-facilitated sessions, and peer learning opportunities, participants will deepen their understanding of the STEELS framework, explore ways to lead systemic change, and build capacity to support educators and students in achieving the vision of the standards. The PLC emphasizes practical solutions, data-informed decision-making, and the development of sustainable leadership practices that prioritize inclusive and effective science teaching and learning statewide.

    This initiative is driven by the Pennsylvania Science Education Leadership Association (PENNSELA), in partnership with key stakeholders, to ensure that all administrators are equipped to champion high-quality science education in their schools and districts.
