Carrie Tzou, recipient of the University of Washington Bothell\u2019s 2020 Distinguished Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity Award<\/a>, has a current project gaining attention online as a resource for educators and families during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s called Learning in Places<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the curriculum is suddenly in demand from teachers and families looking for online learning materials while schools are closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award-winning academics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 project is a partnership with Northwestern University, Seattle Public Schools and Tilth Alliance, a Seattle nonprofit. Funded by a $2.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the project draws upon local communities at several Seattle schools to develop learning experiences to engage K-3 students, their teachers and their families in ecological reasoning and decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors to the project website can download plans for families to engage in field-based science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning in Places is just one example of Tzou\u2019s scholarly or creative achievements recognized by the award known as DRSCA, which is presented each year to a UW Bothell faculty member. 足彩app哪个是正规的 award comes with a $5,000 honorarium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAssociate Professor Carrie Tzou has made significant contributions to science education through her research \u2014 and, notably, her work with future teachers, current teachers and community partners at libraries and museums,\u201d said Chancellor Wolf Yeigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe also applies her scholarship and research knowledge to her leadership as director of the Goodlad Institute for Educational Renewal. 足彩app哪个是正规的 quality of her scholarly research and the commitment she brings to her engagement with students and the community make her a true role model on campus and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

足彩app哪个是正规的 committee that chose Tzou out of 10 nominees also cited her significant contributions to science education research, impact on students, leadership with the Goodlad Institute, mentoring colleagues and partnering with school districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovating science methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This spring, Tzou was prepared to teach her favorite course, Science Methods. Ordinarily, the students who are in a UW Bothell program to become elementary teachers would be learning on site at partner schools, seeing science, literacy and math learning in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the rest of UW Bothell\u2019s spring courses, Science Methods was quickly redesigned to make it work remotely. During the pandemic, Tzou\u2019s students are using Learning in Places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo out, do investigations and bring that back into our classes and talk about how you would support this,\u201d Tzou tells her students. \u201cIn your backyard, garden, neighborhood, walking around the block, there are lots of new things to notice every day. Learn to ask questions about the place we live in, just taking a walk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a project that was intentionally designed to support family discussions around science in everyday life, to make observations and ask questions that don\u2019t require any kind of special science equipment, Tzou said. \u201cThat\u2019s the direction we\u2019re working, trying to support our partner teachers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning in Places materials have been downloaded many times, and Tzou has responded to inquiries from educators across the country and the world, including Chicago, Boston, Mexico and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat kind of interest is really exciting for us. It tells us people see that potential in our material to help push their teachers\u2019 thinking on how to teach science more equitably,\u201d Tzou said. \u201cOur tools are being taken up because we\u2019re really centering families as the learning unit, rather than a student sitting online on a computer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identity, culture, equity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tzou, an associate professor in the School of Educational Studies<\/a>, has been at UW Bothell since 2008 and has been Goodlad director since 2018. She has degrees from Stanford, Vanderbilt and Northwestern universities plus professional experience as a science teacher in middle school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I talk to teachers, I think about the students I had who were making decisions about whether they were interested in science,\u201d she said. \u201cA lot of elementary teachers are in that same position \u2014 in the process of building their own identities around science \u2014 and transferring that to their teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you see the problems you solve every day in your life as having to do with math or science,\u201d Tzou said, \u201cthen making that connection as a scientist is a lot easier.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to building a science identity, it\u2019s important to recognize that students with diverse backgrounds bring a lot to class, she believes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe try to help kids understand that they come to science-learning settings with a lot of really rich knowledge about how the world works,\u201d Tzou said. \u201cBuilding instruction around what kids know is an equity move.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of Tzou\u2019s research projects is Tech Tales, which combines electronics and family storytelling experiences at local libraries and museums. She\u2019s also working with librarians and after-school providers on activities that add arts to STEM, known as STEAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transformational thinking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Centering learning on students and engaging their families and communities are ways to bring equity to science education, and the DRSCA is really recognition of those partnerships, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThinking about how you involve families and communities in making transformative change in STEM education is what I\u2019m passionate about going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
