What is your approach to integrating equity into physics instruction?
1: Access - Increased access to school learning, equitable distribution of academic resources. 2: Achievement - Equitable school achievement, e.g., closing achievement gaps 3: Identity - Representation; students seeing themselves in the curriculum and as scientists 4: Problematizing power - Challenging the values embedded in science concepts; recognizing political, economic, and cultural origins and applications 5: Social justice - Science is a tool to be put to use by social justice movements
