Abstract
The Urban Ecosystem Project, a National Institute of Health recipient of the Science Education Partnership Award, is a supporting project of the ISU 4 U Promise. The Promise, which was made to two Des Moines public elementary schools, was created to promote and support college attendance throughout the historically marginalized community. The Urban Ecosystem Project works with Iowa State University pre-service teachers in the School of Education to promote culturally responsive science teaching through an Ambitious Science Teaching framework and a Diversity Pedagogy Theory. Join our team of graduate and undergraduate research assistants as we delve into what this culturally inclusive educator prep program is doing for the Iowa State University campus as well as the broader communities surrounding Iowa State.
