A conscious practitioner is an expert who goes beyond their expertise to intentionally and continually impact their daily practice.

To be conscious is to have an expanded awareness of self and others.

Leveraging student identity and critically talking about race in science can create space for more expansive representation. The historic and continued centering of white people and whiteness actively erases and marginalizes the histories and contributions of scientists and communities of color.

Science and science education are not neutral.

Everyone should hold a critical lens in all aspects of their work (like language and daily practices) and take steps for continued accountability, in order to avoid perpetuating harmful, one-sided, deficit-laden narratives of race in all contexts.

Intersectionality examines how systems of power might impact individuals who are marginalized because of their socio-political identities, and how different types of discrimination combine to influence the experience of oppression (for example, those who identify as female and also as people of color). Identities should be considered holistically there are many factors that can combine to impact identity in addition to race-including gender identity. Building on identity and prior interest in instruction is as important as building on prior knowledge. However, it also emphasizes identity and interest as fundamental to learning (“5D learning”).

The NRC Framework highlights the need for students to engage in science and engineering practices while learning and applying disciplinary core ideas and making connections to cross-cutting concepts (“3D learning”).

Taking the time to address identity and providing space for students to share important parts of themselves with others can help strengthen science classrooms in multiple ways.

Race is a central feature of many people’s identities-both avowed (how they see themselves) and ascribed (how other people see them).

Western science as a field has not always been welcoming to scientists and learners from Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities-and in some cases, continues to be actively exclusionary. Define and list the components of Intercultural Communication Competence (ICC)? Identify which component you feel most competent at and which one needs the most work.Race is a socio-political construct that can be an important part of how people self-identify or are identified by others. How does this dialectic help you understand or analyze the situation? 4. Apply at least one of the six dialectics to a recent intercultural interaction that you had. Define Dialectic and list the 6 dialectics of Intercultural Communication. Use specific examples of media representations. Choose either race, gender, sexual orientation or ability and discuss the ways in which these cultural identities have been shaped by media portrayals. Why do you think the person ascribed the identity to you? Were there any stereotypes involved? 2. Describe a situation in which someone ascribed an identity to you that didn't match with your avowed identities. Define ascribed identity and avowed identity.
