She is also the lead faculty for the Secondary Education department’s anti-racism webinar series and consultant for the schools of Engineering and Computer Science, Communications and Social Work at CSU Fullerton.

California State University System Chancellor’s Office Center for Closing the Opportunity Gap Webinar series: Preservice Teacher Candidate Epistemic Agency: Acquiring the Professional Skills of Becoming a Science Teacher” on March 3, 2021. The webinar discussed the interconnected learning experiences that occur in three courses in a credential program. Within these courses are learning experiences grounded in a particular theory of learning teaching and epistemic agency for candidates. We offer a sincere thank you to our presenter:
Dr. Antoinette Linton (CSU Fullerton)
