Every student deserves to feel valued and fully included in their educational experiences. This one-day workshop focuses on helping educators recognize and leverage the diverse intellectual resources students bring to making sense of phenomena. By adopting an asset-based approach, participants will explore how to create inclusive and equitable learning environments that celebrate and support students' unique ways of knowing and contributing to science. The workshop will guide participants through an examination of the equity dimensions embedded in the science and engineering practices, highlighting the importance of understanding and honoring the varied ways students make sense of phenomena. Educators will learn to see connections between students' experiences and scientific concepts while gaining a deeper appreciation for the shared human experience of navigating multiple ways of knowing. Through engaging discussions and practical examples, participants will explore strategies for reshaping instruction to support diverse approaches to sense-making. The session also addresses the challenges that less expansive learning environments can create, particularly for students from non-dominant communities. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to foster classrooms where all students can thrive and feel a true sense of belonging.
