Dear colleagues; Please spread the word to colleagues and join the National Collaborative on FEW Education for our quarterly Virtual Workshop Series on Integrating Research and Practice. On February 25th we welcome a panel from our K12 Working Group to share a new teaching resource: Community Science Data Talks
To bring FEW-Nexus-based education into K-12 settings where teachers are new to these topics, project team members from the University of Kansas, University of Connecticut, Morgan State University, and Kansas State University worked to design a series of place-based and justice-centered FEW Community Science Data Talks (CSDTs). The workshop's objective is to share the FEW CSDTs and inspire others to consider ways to bring FEW-Nexus-based education into K-12 settings through CSDTs. During the workshop, you will first learn about the theoretical and pedagogical foundations of CSDTs, including the intentionality behind planning for CSDTs to tell a data story, variations on facilitation in K-12 settings, and how CSDTs are primed to bridge and complexify FEW-Nexus community-based challenges. Next, the project team will share three FEW data stories developed and implemented with teachers and students across three states: Kansas, Connecticut, and Maryland. Finally, we will share lessons learned from design and implementation, resources, and vision for the next steps.

Since 2018, the National Collaborative for Research on Food, Energy, and Water Education (NC-FEW) has been working to support education research on educational programs grounded in the Food-Energy-Water-Nexus (FEW-Nexus). This is an exciting time for NC-FEW! If you are not already involved, we invite you to explore our new WEBSITE<https://serc.carleton.edu/nc-few/index.html> and JOIN OUR LISTSERV<https://serc.carleton.edu/nc-few/get_involved.html> to stay informed of upcoming opportunities to engage. NC-FEW is designed to cultivate an emergent, transdisciplinary community of educators and education researchers engaged in FEW-Nexus-focused educational programming and research/evaluation. Through our ongoing support from the National Science Foundation (ECR-EHR Core Research #2242276<https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=2242276&HistoricalAwards=false>), this Research Coordination Network<https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=11691> (RCN) will continue efforts to catalyze sustained, systemic, and interdisciplinary research on educational efforts focused on the FEW-Nexus.
