STEM Teacher Leadership Network

💻 The REVISE Center is preparing to co-design a toolkit on AI (artificial intelligence), Equity, and ISE (informal STEM education). To inform our efforts, and to ensure the toolkit reflects the interests, priorities, and concerns of the ISE field, we invite you to join our AI Feedback Session! Register for the feedback session here: https://digitalpromise-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_oOTPC1tkQJGgUwy722H9vw #/registration During the session, attendees will have the opportunity to:
✅ Share their experiences with using AI in ISE spaces
✅ Share what topics they are most interested in learning about to safely, equitably, and ethically integrate and use AI in their programs and research
✅ Hear from practitioners and other experts in the ISE field who are integrating AI with equity and safety in mind

⭐️The REVISE Communities of Practice team is thrilled to invite you to Inuit Blanket Toss: A Framework for Community Strength!⭐️ This webinar and discussion will mark the launch of a 6-month pilot effort of our Communities of Practice, a co-designed series of events intended to support ISE practitioners who share an interest in building equitable relationships. We anticipate that this pilot series will culminate into a professional community of practitioners around this topic!

💻 About the webinar: Discover the essence of cooperation in Arctic Indigenous communities with a virtual blanket toss! This interactive session, guided by Corina Qaaġraq Kramer and Dr. Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq (of Respectful Research, respectfulresearch.com), translates the exhilarating spirit of the Inuit blanket toss into a powerful metaphor for equitable community engagement. Participants will learn about four key principles of the blanket toss: listening to the caller, setting their feet, pulling equally, and staying in sync. These principles serve as analogies for the essential components of community-led research and underscore the importance of balanced power dynamics. Through a virtual demonstration and interactive group activities, attendees will gain insights into collaborative effort and the humility required for active equality in community engagement, applicable both in field research and policy development.
