  • Teaching and Learning with Jupyter

    Although originally developed for scientists to share their work, Jupyter notebooks are becoming a popular method to introduce data-rich science and mathematical investigations to secondary and intro college students. However, development of curriculum using Jupyter has far outpaced basic research in this area. Like other tools of science and mathematics, introducing python/Jupyter notebooks to students…

  • Oakland Teachers Advancing Climate Action (ECCL, JCCCP)

    The Oakland Teachers Advancing Climate Action (OTACA) collaborative builds on existing collaborations of teachers who are working to make learning local, active, and relevant for students. The OTACA community designs and tries out student-action projects related to environmental justice. Funded by: University of California Office of the President (active), National Science Foundation DGE-2222255 (concluded)

  • Writing Data Stories

    This project integrates computational data analysis into the middle school science curriculum. Students combine personal experience, interviews, and journalistic investigations of scientific phenomena with data investigations to create multimodal “data stories” that both tell stories about data and how it was collected and analyzed, as well as with data about socio-scientific issues. Funded by: National…

    Computing as Multiliteracies (ECLES)

    The “Computing as Multiliteracies Partnership” (CoMP) explores equity within the context of computing across the K-12 curriculum. Our projects, Writing Data Stories (WDS) and Participating in Literacies and Computer Science (PiLa-CS) come together to examine: What are general approaches to equitable, literacy-based computing education? Funded by: Lucas Education Research (concluded)
