Rebuilding STEM Identities of Underrepresented Students
Tuesday August 12, 2025 9:30am - 10:30am PDT
137 North Wenatchee Ave Wenatchee, WA 98801
This inservice presentation focuses on empowering underrepresented students in STEM by addressing identity-based barriers. Participants will explore inclusive teaching strategies, mentorship practices, and practical activities to help students rebuild confidence in their STEM abilities. Drawing on real-world examples—while maintaining student privacy—we will discuss how collaborative learning, representation, and ongoing reflection foster a sense of belonging. Attendees will leave with concrete tools to create more equitable, supportive, and transformative STEM learning environments.

NBCT High School Math Teacher, Warden High School
For the past decade, I have been teaching on the East side of the state. My journey began in a traditionally affluent high school, but ten years ago, I made a significant transition to a high minority, low socio-economic high school. This change has been both challenging and enlightening... Read More →

Einstein for Algebra 2
Tuesday August 12, 2025 9:30am - 12:00pm PDT
137 North Wenatchee Ave Wenatchee, WA 98801
In 1905, while working as a clerk in a Swiss patent office, Albert Einstein revolutionized the world of physics by introducing a new theory of space and time: Special Relativity. Surprisingly, much of the mathematics associated with Special Relativity is accessible to students with a strong background in algebra. This class will explore the Lorentz Transformation and some of the unusual consequences of Special Relativity including time dilation and length contraction using fundamental techniques of algebra.

Fisheries Science for High School Classrooms
Tuesday August 12, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT
137 North Wenatchee Ave Wenatchee, WA 98801
Fisheries biology offers a compelling framework for high school students to engage with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) by integrating key concepts from environmental science, ecology, and biology. In this session, we will present on lessons and resources available for high school classrooms to engage in hands-on lessons that foster scientific inquiry and critical thinking while empowering students to understand and contribute to the sustainability of our natural resources. Please consider this a soft application with more details coming (if necessary) by the end of April.
