In this webinar, we present a specialized tool designed to assist early-career STEM teachers (ECSTs) in identifying factors within complex systems that impact collaborative relationships between colleagues. This tool aids ECSTs in meaningful discussions about implementing equitable teaching practices across all grade bands and content levels, fostering shifts in their own and their colleagues’ approaches.
