STEM Mini-Course Description

Learn to apply Culturally Responsive Teaching to create more inclusive and engaging STEM learning spaces for Latinx students

As a result of this course you will learn:

1. The cultural differences that make a difference in teaching and learning, based on cognitive and anthropological research.
2. How your own cultural experiences have influenced how you set up your course and the ways you interpret student behaviors.
3. The peer-reviewed research evidence for CRT, and how implementing it more intentionally in STEM closes learning opportunity gaps for Latinx STEM students.
4. Practical examples of how STEM faculty from two- and four-year HSIs have implemented CRT strategies into their course learning spaces, assignments, laboratory exercises, and assessments. 
5. How to analyze and improve your own course assignments, labs, and assessments to increase students' learning and more intentionally foster their STEM identities.
