| Proposal Title: | Underrepresentation Curriculum Workshop: Let's talk about equity in STEM classrooms! |
|---|---|
| Abstract Type: | Workshop |
| Abstract: | The Underrepresentation Curriculum is a free, open, modular, teacher-created resource that supports high school and college science instructors in empowering students to examine issues of equity, identity, and justice in society and in STEM. This workshop will introduce the curriculum by engaging participants themselves in the learning activities (e.g., discussing the role of objectivity and subjectivity in science and analyzing data about disparities in representations of certain groups of people). The workshop will familiarize participants with the support materials available and make space for exploration. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to discuss how the curriculum can be implemented in their own classrooms, and collaborate with other instructors to create viable actions beyond the workshop. |
