Science education is richer when every part of who we are is welcomed in the room. Culture. Race. Gender. Sexuality. Faith. Heritage. Professional identity. The intersections between all of those things. True everyday. Happy Pride Month from AMTA! 🌈💙 #PrideMonth #AMTATeachers #ModelingInstruction

Black cup of coffee overlayed with the chemical equation for caffeine. A nod to the space being set up for STEM educators to find their community and discuss all things modeling pedagogy related, especially as it applies to what's going on in the classroom. There are roasted coffee bean neatly spread across the table, and a vertical banner in a lighter tan color that lists the event details: Second Saturday of Every Month, Morning Coffee Hour, 11 am ET. Words on the bottom say: "A space for modeling pedagogy teaching support and classroom tips from your peers in education."
