Elevating Student Experience to Transform STEM Education Samantha Levine, APLU/USU Dr. Laurel Hartley, University of Colorado Denver Dr. Sushilla Knottenbelt, University of New Mexico
The Student Experience Project SEP Cohort Learning Partners
Research Evidence 150 STEM instructors 602 courses Struct. Disadvantaged Struct. Advantaged 7 semesters Racial academic outcome disparity is more than twice as large in classes taught by fixed-mindset instructors 15,214 students Canning, Muenks, Green, & Murphy (2019). STEM faculty who believe ability is fixed have larger racial achievement gaps and inspire less student motivation in their classes. Science Advances, 5:2. Self-reported STEM Instructor Mindset Beliefs
Supportive Instructor and Course Interactions Classroom practices that support more equitable student experience Workshops and professional development opportunities Frequent data about how students are experiencing classroom environment Regular meetings to share data and lessons learned Communities of Practice
Panelists Laurel Hartley Sushilla Knottenbelt Senior Lecturer III, Department of Chemistry & Chemical Biology Director, Combined BA/MD Degree Program Associate Professor, Department of Integrative Biology Co-Director, STEM Learning Assistants Program
