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

Each interactive session contains:

1. Research on why cultural background matters in communication, information processing, and motivation to learn, and why specific instructional shifts make a bigger difference to Latinx students.
2. Ways to systematically evaluate how well your own instructional strategies are working, without judgement or evaluation!
3. Practical examples of how STEM faculty from HSIs have implemented shifts to improve Latinx student learning --from Biochemistry, Math, Anatomy & Physiology, and Engineering instructors.
4. Equity Exercises that will help you take action and modify your course language, assessment strategies and discussions to become more culturally responsive to your Latinx students.​
5. Online workbook and peer-reviewed reference material, as well as access to Slack space to interact with other STEM mini-course participants and alumni.
