The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project

The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project is a 6 week course designed to advance the awareness, self-efficacy, and the ability of faculty, postdocs, and doctoral students to cultivate inclusive STEM learning environments for all their students and to develop themselves as reflective, inclusive practitioners.

This is a free, online course (run through edX) that provides an excellent overview of inclusive STEM teaching. We highly recommend this course to all who teach or might teach.

The course runs from Oct 2 to Nov 21, 2023.

ROOT & SHOOT is a NSF-funded Research Coordination Network granted to seven plant science organizations that are seeking to “Root Out Oppression Together & SHare Our Outcomes Transparently”. In other words, we recognize that science as traditionally practiced is inherently exclusionary, and we are exploring strategies to build a more inclusive scientific culture. We invite you to visit our project home page, check out our Resources page, and follow us on Twitter (@RootAndShootRCN).
