Introduction

In the introduction, we share the story of the genesis and the life of the Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Education Professional Learning Group (CRSE PLG), a long-term collaboration among a group of secondary science teachers. The group was formed to address the question What does culturally responsive and sustaining education mean for science teaching, and how could it inform my science classroom? We describe the structure of the book, which is made up of individual and collaboratively written chapters through which we portray our wide-ranging inquiries, discussions, and learning about what CRSE can mean for science education.
