• Design class activities that create an inclusive learning community

Workshop Description

Explore equity issues in STEM classrooms with a three part series on student success. This series of workshops will address research-based initiatives to retain and support a more diverse student population.

• Session 1 will focus on strategies that encourage a student's sense of belonging in your classroom and address equity concerns impacting student success
• Session 2 will address a student's understanding of metacognition and teach strategies for student self-regulated learning.

Participants will create a plan to implement at least one related instructional strategy in one or more courses at each session.
