"Equity in science education requires that all students are provided with equitable opportunities to learn science and become engaged in science and engineering practices; with access to quality space, equipment, and teachers to support and motivate that learning and engagement; and adequate time spent on science.  In addition, the issue of connecting to students’ interests and experiences is particularly important for broadening participation in science."

NRC, A Framework for K-12 Science Education, p. 28

ClimeTime
ClimeTime is facilitated by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) — in collaboration with the UW Institute for Science + Math Education—through a Washington State budget proviso of $4 million in 2018-2019 originally requested by Governor Inslee. OSPI manages the network and the grant funding flows through all nine Educational Service Districts (ESDs) in Washington ($3 million) and seven community-based organizations (CBOs) ($1 million) which are launching programs for science teacher training linking Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and climate science
