- Abstract
To illustrate the lessons, we present examples of student work from Ms. Dudek, who implemented the lessons in her linguistically diverse sixth-grade science classroom in New York City (NYC). We focus specifically on justice-centered STEM education with multilingual learners (MLs), a minoritized student group that represents a fast-growing subset of the U.S. K-12 student population. All students, and especially MLs, are able to demonstrate their science learning more fully when they are invited to leverage their full repertoire of meaning-making resources in the science classroom (Grapin et al. 2021). As students related the pyramids to frontline workers in their local community, such as firefighters and grocery store clerks, Ms. Dudek planned to capitalize on students' local knowledge in subsequent activities.
