RDP Room 1503

As educators, sometimes we don’t realize that the way we teach, in conjunction with some of our implicit biases, play a critical role in how students see themselves in STEM. Join WISEST in this session where we’ll talk about how to recognize our own implicit biases, how to address them, and we’ll explore ways educators can challenge long held views that hold a masculine, heteronormative and eurocentric perspective in the effort to help promote equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging in the classroom. In this session, you will learn tangible strategies for how you can build an inclusive learning space for your 2SLGBTQIA+ students, racialized students, girls, gender-diverse students and more! Session is open to educators who work with junior high to high school students.
