Community of Practice: A Faction for Science Fiction in Science

Join this ongoing Community of Practice - All 🍁 educators welcome!

STEM Focused Learning: A Faction for Science Fiction in Science

Looking to support students' literacy skills while learning science? This Community of Practice is for educators interested in exploring the many reasons why science fiction can play a positive role in their classes and examining examples of how they have used it to enhance students' understanding of science concepts. You do not need to have ever read a piece of science fiction to join this group; it is composed of people who are looking to further promote students' literacy in science by improving their language skills.

We will learn from one another. Each community member comes with knowledge, skills, and attitudes that their prior experiences have shaped. Each voice and story holds importance, and so everyone is welcome to share their personal experiences; however, none are required to do so.
