| Abstract | The Center for Integration of Teaching Research and Learning (CIRTL) has created a set of research-based tools to address issues of diversity in STEM education. The goal of these resources is to enable current and future faculty to employ proactive strategies to reach students from groups underrepresented in STEM disciplines. The tools include a resource book “Reaching All Students”, a casebook “Case Studies in Inclusive Teaching in STEM”, an annotated literature review and an inclusive syllabus collection “Content Matters”. Through extensive literature research, collaboration with STEM diversity experts, and workshops with current and future STEM educators, the CIRTL Diversity Team created and tested these diversity resource materials. The 2007-8 editions were extensively revised and updated based on the feedback from reviewers and workshop participants. A facilitators guide and workshop materials are available for use by others who wish to employ these resources for diversity training, to create a more inclusive STEM learning environment. |
