SCIENCE STORIES helps you get in touch with your "scientific self"
and become empowered to teach science in your own classrooms. This
book's unique approach uses stories of science in real-world
classrooms to demonstrate important science content and strategies
in action. Following each story, you'll have the opportunity to
reflect on the connections to the Next Generation Science Standards
(NGSS) and to the teaching and disciplinary ideas behind the story.
This approach makes the stories' instructional value explicit.
Author Janice Koch helps you feel comfortable with the prospect of
teaching science and encourages you in the discovery and
exploration of life, physical, and earth and space sciences.
Through a warm and inviting narrative style, the author also
fosters an appreciation for engineering design and for science and
engineering practices.
What makes girls avoid math, science, and technology in school? And
what can teacher educators do to help new teachers keep this from
happening so that all of our children's talents can find
expression? These two volumes provide teaching materials and
background information on gender equity for teacher educators in
mathematics, science, and technology education and their students.
A practical guide, Gender Equity Right from the Start is usable by
professors of education for preservice teachers and by staff
developers for in-service teachers. By adapting the material for
other subjects, it can also be used by teacher educators in content
areas other than math, science, and technology. It consists of two
volumes: Instructional Activities for Teacher Educators in
Mathematics, Science, and Technology contains some 200 teaching
activities on the major issues in gender equity, emphasizing
solutions and not just problems. Activities take place in
out-of-class assignments and field experiences whenever possible to
minimize demands on class time. Sources and Resources for Education
Students in Mathematics, Science, and Technology contains student
materials needed for the activities as well as extensive print,
electronic, organizational, and other resources for further
information.

The fifth edition of the best-selling Teach by Janice
Koch aims to help students answer the question, "Is teaching the
right career for me?" Via a concise but wide-ranging exploration of
the American public education system, Teach asks
readers to imagine themselves in the classroom and develop their
own ideas of what it means to be a teacher. Real-life classroom
stories from teachers themselves help readers see themselves as
teachers. Chapters feature the latest edTPA and InTasc Standards to
structure learning, as well as learning outcomes and journal
prompts to give readers clear goals and ways to build their
teaching skills. This new edition features major emerging issues in
education, including developments in technology in the classroom,
with both positive and negative implications; more on the STEM,
STEAM, and maker movements; school choice and homeschooling; sexual
orientation and gender identity; diversity, equity, and inclusion;
and the importance of personal wellness in teacher success.
Throughout the text, the author references and contextualizes the
effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, where appropriate, to reflect the
ways students, teachers, and classrooms have been altered by this
historic event. Combining historical and contemporary perspectives,
this text helps future teachers examine the ways in which society
and culture shape schools and the ways in which schools shape
society and culture.
Though there has been a rapid increase of women's representation in
law and business, their representation in STEM fields has not been
matched. Researchers have revealed that there are several
environmental and social barriers including stereotypes, gender
bias, and the climate of science and engineering departments in
colleges and universities that continue to block women's progress
in STEM. In this book, the authors address the issues that
encounter women of color in STEM in higher education.
The 11 chapters in this book provide a glimpse into the journeys
thatwomen from diverse backgrounds and ethnic differences take in
their higher education undergraduate or graduate careers. The
diverse women include ethnicities of Arabic, Asian,
African-American, American Indian, and Latina.
A volume in Research on Women and Education (RWE) Series Editors
Beverly Irby, Sam Houston State University and Janice Koch, Hofstra
University Encouraging the participation of girls and women in
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) remains as
vital today as it was in the 1970s. ... hence, the sub-title: "A
Never Ending Story." This volume is about ongoing advocacy on
behalf of the future workforce in fields that lie on the cutting
edge of society's future. Acknowledging that deeply embedded
beliefs about social and academic entitlement take generations to
overcome, the editors of this volume forge forward in the knowledge
that these chapters will resonate with readers and that those in
positions of access will learn more about how to provide
opportunities for girls and women that propel them into STEM
fields. This volume will give the reader insight into what works
and what does not work for providing the message to girls and women
that indeed STEM fields are for them in this second decade of the
21st century. Contributions to this volume will connect to readers
at all levels of STEM education and workforce participation.
Courses that address teaching and learning in STEM fields as well
as courses in women's studies and the sociology of education will
be enhanced by accessing this volume. Further, students and
scholars in STEM fields will identify with the success stories
related in some of these chapters and find inspiration in the ways
their own journeys are reflected by this volume.

Over the past two decades greater numbers of courses and programs
in colleges and universities have emerged that explore the lives
and roles of women who have been engaged in shaping and determining
the cultural contexts in which we live, yet parity for women and
girls within schools, the workplace, and the academy have changed
only slightly. The differential treatment between males and females
in classrooms from the nursery school to the postdoctoral
experience impact females' academic and career opportunities,
social treatment, and participation in power structures.
Simultaneous to the growth in courses, there has been a growing
faction within the academy who have voiced the belief that the work
on and for women and education has been accomplished. Perhaps
because of this pervasive belief and because inequities have taken
a subtler, but deeper form of expression, we have never been in
greater need of a book series devoted to Research on Women and
Education.
