NEW TOOL: How to avoid known pitfalls associated with culturally responsive instruction

We have previously published a half-day professional development module on designing culturally responsive instruction. But this is complicated work. This new STEM Teaching Tool highlights a range of known pitfalls with taking a culturally responsive approach to science teaching.
