Contextualizing science and STEM learning through agriculture can bring both science and agriculture to new audiences, and improve understanding of both fields. Such agriscience education benefits from informal education resources to support classroom work, but teachers may struggle to locate cost-effective free-choice learning resources in their…

Background: Although much is known from educational research about factors that support K-12 teacher professional learning, it has been an ongoing challenge to incorporate these factors into practice in new contexts and environments. We argue that these factors are too often treated like a checklist of discrete elements, either present or not,…
