Inclusive strategies for humanizing diverse scientists in the classroom
Advance inclusivity in the biology classroom by learning how to help your students feel welcome, identify as biologists, and discover careers in biology.
Dr. Kim Quillin, Salisbury University
Join Dr. Kim Quillin as she shares several evidence-based strategies for supporting three goals in the biology classroom, helping students to:
- feel welcome in biology
- identify as biologists/scientists
- discover careers in biology
The strategies range in instructor effort from simple/quick tasks that can be done "by class tomorrow" to more involved interventions that require more planning.
