The Natural History Museum of Utah’s STEM Rooted in Culture (SRIC) educator workshop series brings together community experts and museum educators. Together we help educators broaden understanding and diversify teaching practices in the K-12 social studies and STEM classroom. Participants in this half-day workshop will experience past workshop highlights first-hand. NHMU and our partners will share our efforts to elevate Indigenous knowledge, cultivate sustained and meaningful community partnerships, and increase equity and access for students.
