WSST Elections · February 2021 RUNNING FOR DISTRICT 5: Sara Krauskopf, Madison Position Statement and Vision: I want to support members of WSST in their ongoing learning to develop a more inclusive, anti-racist approach to teaching science. We can all learn from one another and develop reciprocal partnerships with other organizations as we work towards that goal. After serving as the interim District 5 Director this past year, I better understand the function of our organization and our educational networks. During the pandemic, much of WSST’s role was providing support and information to our overworked members and educational partners. As opportunities open up for more in-person learning, I hope WSST can again facilitate in-depth, in-person programs and connections to help us build more equitable environments for science learning. I also want to find ways to continue offering on-line
learning programs that connect educators around the State. We don’t want to return to school exactly as we did before the pandemic; let’s find ways to leverage our experiences during this unprecedented year to create better opportunities for teaching and learning overall. Background Education: I hold a Ph.D. and a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from UWMadison and a B.A. from Carleton College. I taught secondary science and math in the Madison area for over 15 years. I also worked in Science Outreach, writing curriculum and providing teacher professional learning opportunities. Present Teaching Assignment or employment: I supervise secondary science teacher candidates at UW-Madison and work as an independent educational consultant. My independent work currently involves
