Resources
Integrating Social Justice Issues in Science Classrooms
As the world faced COVID-19 and racial injustice, a science teacher sought ways to address racism in the classroom. Inspired by the connection between redlining and urban heat islands, they developed a physics unit on thermal energy tied to social justice. This led to creating resources and a course to empower teachers to integrate real-world issues into STEM education.

The Power of Coaching
Typically, coaching meetings are conversational, with the Coach employing skills of deep listening, strategic paraphrasing, and asking questions to clarify, organize, and probe the Coachee’s thinking. Knowles Coaches effectively match their coaching stance (consulting, collaborative, and cognitive) to the needs of the Coachee so that the Coachee feels empowered to improve the educational experiences of their students and sustain their love for the profession.
Newton North High School, Massachusetts
Knowles conducted a three-day course, “Increase Participation: Strategies for Effective Groupwork,” for 20 high school science teachers. Following the course, instructors led 10 monthly virtual department meetings to support their implementation.
