Improving Urban Science Education: New Roles for Teachers, Students, and Researchers - Paperback

by Kenneth Tobin (Editor), Rowhea Elmesky (Editor), Gale Seiler (Editor)

Many would argue that the state of urban science education has been static for the past several decades and that there is little to learn from it. Rather than accepting this deficit perspective, Improving Urban Science Education strives to recognize and understand the successes that exist there by systematically documenting seven years of research into issues salient to teaching and learning in urban high school science classes.
