Matt Stewart, a third-year doctoral student in the College of Education, focuses on science education and how science teachers can work towards justice-centered and equitable classrooms. He taught high school biology and physics for 11 years in Portland, OR, leading the science department in developing a new culturally relevant, project-based curriculum. He worked as an instructional coach for science teachers across the country to improve their practice. Currently, he coaches teacher candidates in the UW’s College of Education’s Secondary Teacher Education Preparation Program. He looks forward to getting into the classroom with students again and talking about science.
