SECO UPDATE

The Science Education Council of Ohio (SECO) is featuring Dr. Bryan Brown’s book Science in the City in its winter Book Study Workshop. This book has powerful insights relevant to science education in any setting. In Science in the City, Bryan A. Brown examines how language and culture matter for effective science teaching.
