Anti‐Racist Pedagogy in STEM Classrooms
Supported by VIMS SMS, W&M A&S, and W&M Strategic Cultural Partnerships
March 29 ‐ 30, 2022 | A workshop led by Dr. Bryan Dewsbury, Associate Professor of Biology and Associate Director of the STEM Transformational Institute at Florida International University
A truly equity‐minded educational experience is designed so that all its participants have an opportunity to thrive within it and cultivate the tools needed to be meaningful contributors to civic society. Inclusive approaches, therefore, require practitioners to understand education as both an intellectual and social endeavor. Over the course of this 2-day workshop, we will explore the evidence for a deeper consideration of the human element of pedagogy, and identify specific strategies that allow all students, regardless of background, to experience academic and social success. Participants will leave with at least one specific strategy they intend to implement in their next teaching experience, with tools on how to assess the effectiveness of their approach.
