BEAVERTON, Oregon, September 12, 2017 \u2014 Vernier Software & Technology has partnered with the Association for Multicultural Science Education (AMSE), an affiliate association of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), to support AMSE as it discusses diversity and equity in science classrooms during NSTA\u2019s three regional conferences this fall.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAMSE is a leader in promoting diversity within teacher leadership and helping to drive ongoing dialogue around multicultural science education,\u201d said John Wheeler, CEO of Vernier Software & Technology. \u201cWe share this commitment to diversity and equity in science education and are proud to partner with AMSE to support their ongoing work.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AMSE is organized to stimulate and promote science teaching to students of culturally diverse backgrounds in an effort to motivate such students to consider science-related careers; explore and promote the improvement of science curriculum, educational systems, and teaching methods in schools to assist such stimulation; recruit and involve teachers of all minorities in science education; and initiate and engage in activities and programs in furtherance of improving the science education of culturally diverse students.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is so important that there is an ongoing dialogue about multicultural science education and how cultural responsiveness helps meet the needs of all students,\u201d said Sharon Delesbore, Ph.D., president of the AMSE Board of Directors. \u201cThrough our partnership with Vernier, we are able to reach more educators and have more conversations about the importance of these topics \u2014 and their impact on both teaching and learning \u2014 at NSTA forums across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AMSE will present sessions entitled, \u201cGeorge Washington Carver Conversations on Diversity and Equity,\u201d at the following NSTA regional conferences<\/a>:<\/p>\n
