| Abstract: | The TYC Leadership Institute aims to develop leaders in the TYC physics community by providing them with the skills to advocate for and lead necessary changes in STEM education. The program builds on successful previous TYC physics initiatives and addresses critical issues of networking, professional development, and DEI. Participants will develop skills such as valuing diversity, communicating effectively, understanding the national context for science education, securing funding, and fostering positive curricular change. As a capstone project, participants will develop strategic plans for their institutions to advance best practices in STEM teaching and learning. The program provides mentoring for each cohort and offers travel support to encourage participation. The one-day in-person portion of the program will be run in concert with AAPT national meetings, followed by synchronous online sessions to provide mentoring support for the participants as they implement their capstone projects. The TYC Leadership Institute provides a unique opportunity for developing leaders in the TYC physics community to bring about social change and true reform in undergraduate STEM education at local, regional, and national levels. |
