Importance of Female Role Models in STEM Lesson Planning and Recognizing Outstanding Science Teachers

Thanks for listening to this episode of Teacher Staffroom, where we catch you up on the latest evidence, insight, and action. How many scientists are mentioned in high school science curricula here in Australia? How many of those do you think are women? These 2 questions kicked off a brilliant podcast we published this month that explored the way that female scientists were overlooked in high school science. We also published an article that explores how one school is improving student outcomes by celebrating female figures in STEM, and share how 2 female science educators were named the latest winners of the Prime Minister’s Prizes for Science.
