Interpreting Science: Jedda Foreman

About this episode

Jedda Foreman discusses her role in designing equitable and inclusive STEM learning experiences.

Jedda Foreman, Associate Director at the Lawrence Hall of Science, oversees a group focused on learning design and educational research and how insights from those efforts get translated into tools, services, products, and professional learning that build capacity for the STEM education field. In this role, Jedda works face-to-face with educators, school and county superintendents, executive directors, teachers, principals, communities of practice, and researchers and evaluators, across a variety of learning contexts. Her focus is on designing systems that center high-quality, equitable, inclusive, and culturally relevant STEM learning experiences. She holds a B.A. from Carleton College, M.B.A. from California College of the Arts, and Graduate Certificate in Field Science and Place-Based Education from Teton Science Schools.
