The Carmen Sosa Farming Curriculum Project: A Planning Grant Towards Bridging Informal and Formal Math and Science Education to Enhance Talent Expansion and Teacher Performance and Recruitment in Iowa' Demographically-Transitioning Communities  This project seeks to develop culturally- and linguistically-responsive informal curricula related to local organic farming initiatives that draws on the knowledge and skills of immigrant families and builds bridges with formal K-12 math and science curricula. It also works to design related talent expansion and career development programs to attract students to math and science and to develop informal-learning based professional development activities for math and science teachers.
