Grants and Research

Collaborative Works/Projects (with public schools, community agencies, etc.)

STEM Education Center, Assistant Director, Fall 2017-present

I have served for the Fresno State’s STEM Education Center as an assistant director and worked with College of Science and Math faculty to operate the center and to redesign its activities. For example, I co-developed the STEM Education Center outreach program to better serve local public school teachers and students at Central Valley.

Course Redesign, Lead-developer, 2018-2019

As working with LEBSE, CI faculty and local school teachers, I redesigned CI 175 course (science instruction and applied technology) in the multiple subject credential program to emphasize social justice, integrated STEM education, and CA Next Generation Science Standards.

Collegial Works/Projects (i.e., grants, articles, conference presentations, etc.)

NSF-DRK proposal writing, Co-PI, October 2019

I have collaborated with my colleagues to explore avenues to integrate STEM in projects and courses. For example, I wrote a research grant proposal (Co-PI) targeting National Science Foundation, Discovery Research PreK-12 grant working with faculty in the Kremen School of Education and Human Development and the College of Science and Mathematics. In the proposed project, my team will propose a new professional development model to help preschool teachers teach children STEM through research- and evidence-based teaching practices. This proposed project will contribute to reducing the STEM opportunity or achievement gap among preschoolers in Central Valley.

STEM Education Showcase, Co-organizer, December 2018

I also worked with faculty in College of Science and Mathematics to organize the STEM Education Showcase in which undergraduate and graduate students who were taking STEM courses at Fresno State presented their STEM education research or projects at the end of the semester

College STEM Teaching seminar, invited speaker, April 2018

I was also invited as a speaker for Conversations about College STEM Teaching seminar series hosted by the College of Science and Mathematics Faculty Learning Community (FLOCK) to educate STEM faculty about culturally sustaining pedagogy.

Professional Development

I participated in multiple professional development activities to enhance my knowledge and skills in science or STEM education. Especially I attended the Maker Faire to learn how to use new tools and resources about maker education or STEM education. Additionally, I explored new research topics or trend by participating in various conferences. I also participated in workshops about grant writing to sharpen my grant writing skills.
