SCIENCE EDUCATION FOR NEW CIVIC ENGAGEMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

MIDATLANTIC
REGIONAL
CONFERENCE Connections between STEM learning and
Civic Engagement have been the focus
of SENCERs work in formal education
for almost two decades. The SENCER
approach, which teaches disciplinary
content through civic problems and
challenges, has now expanded to the
informal science educational sector through
partnerships with museums, aquaria,
science centers and the National Park
Service.New partnerships with leaders
in all levels of educational institutions are
developing general education and workforce
development synergies,and collaborations
with K-12 educators are forming as
emerging state science standards promote
the inquiry and problem-solving that have
always been at the core of SENCER. We
are looking to expand discussions to see
where else and how far we can extend the
applications ofSENCER approaches across
sectors and disciplines, and to make connections and networks for
improving learning in all times and places.

Join us and add your ideas and voices to extend the SENCER
Connections. Consider making a brief presentation or poster on your
work that connects STEM content and Civic Engagement.
