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