Science

Welcome to the LINCS Community Science group!

The target audience for this group is practitioners, researchers, advocates, and policymakers. The focus of the group is to explore issues pertaining to teaching science in the field of adult literacy; adult education’s role in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) career pathways; and, ways they help more adult learners, especially those from underrepresented populations, to enter STEM career fields. 

Topics discussed include:

• Contextualizing science in the 21st century adult education classroom using evidence-based best practices
• Using content standards in science instruction and integrating health literacy
• Teaching scientific methods and the knowledge and skills necessary for college and career readiness
