Case Studies in Inclusive Teaching in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

Benefit #3. Creating inclusive classrooms for students from underrepresented groups is a process of awareness, reflection and communication. This process enhances faculty and teaching assistants’ skills and expands their horizons. The reward for teachers who engage in this work is greater versatility in addressing any difficulties that their students may face.

The Case Book opens the door to reflection and dialogue about difficult classroom, laboratory or departmental situations. Participants learn from the life experiences of faculty and students and discuss challenging topics in a low-pressure environment.

Case Studies in Inclusive Teaching in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) is a workbook for facilitating discussions about diversity among faculty, administrators and graduate students. The center of the workbook is a series of one-page case studies of challenging educational situations. (Download a PDF version of the Case Book)
