through project or problem-basedlearning (PBL). Most of this section of the rubric draws from the “Ensuring Equity in PBLReflection Tool”[14]. This part of the rubric examines the degree to which students are allowedto exert agency and participate in team-learning environments that reflect real-world contextsand social impacts. The rubric encourages activities that engage every student, ensuring that alleducational experiences are hands-on and relevant to students' lived experiences andsocioeconomic backgrounds.Each of these sections contains specific items, totaling 27, which describe behaviors andpractices ranging from those that perpetuate inequity to those that foster an inclusive atmosphere.For example, under the "Head" section, item 1

CSEdResearch.org 1 adrienne@buffalo.edu, 2 monica@csedresearch.orgAbstractWe recently hosted a workshop that brought together 12 K-8 teachers who teach computer science(CS) and/or computational thinking and 12 CS education researchers. Since there is a known gapbetween practices that researchers study and practices that teachers implement in a learningenvironment, the purpose of our full-day workshop was to create a meaningful space for teachersand researchers to meet and explore each others’ perspectives. The dialogue was framed aroundteachers’ classroom experiences with researchers reflecting on how they could improve theirresearch practice.

They had gained access to STEM as a field of study and the researcherswere interested in whether their own pathways would be reflected in the activities they weredesigning. The other stakeholder group involved in the planning year was a group of teacherswho would become the afterschool facilitators of the STEM program. Those individuals valuedSTEM and students’ access to it. As a group that provided input and feedback on the activitiesthat were being developed, the researchers were interested in how their experiences andperspectives may or may not be reflected in the afterschool

The concept of funds of knowledge emerged from the work ofVelez-Ibañez and Greenberg [4] who described the strategic and cultural resources and skillsutilized by Mexican American families in the U.S. Southwest. They described how these“specific strategic bodies of information” [4, p. 314], were utilized to ensure and maintain thewell-being of their families. For instance, they described families and their knowledge of folkmedicine to provide medical care for their families due to the lack of doctors and thediscrimination faced by Mexican Americans in rural areas in the Southwest.

Many underrepresented students encounterdisconnects between formal instruction and their home experiences as the content often used inclassrooms does not reflect their community-based experiences. PBE addresses this challenge asit seeks to overcome this dissonance by leveraging learning from local surroundings [14]. InPBE, students are provided opportunities to explore local environments, phenomena, history, andeconomy in place. Teachers in rural school settings can use these place-based elements to createa meaningful STEM learning context for underserved populations [9], [10], [8].

However, the traditional approach to defining engineering that has guided engineeringpractices is insufficient because it fails to embrace these realities. Therefore, the need for a newframework that reflects these realities is overwhelming. This paper introduces a new theoreticalframework called socially transformative engineering that not only captures these missingelements but also values and incorporates the diverse perspectives and experiences of students. Inparticular, this framework draws upon the legitimation code theory and justice-centeredpedagogies and builds on three tenets (reasoning fluency
