How increasing equity in the science classroom drives social change
Wednesday, September 11, 2019 at 2:00pm to 3:00pm
The Chipman Room, 6-104 182 Memorial Dr, Cambridge, MA 02142
Dr. Cissy Ballen will describe large-scale experimental and observational efforts across institution types and geographic regions that show how certain features of the introductory science classroom create barriers for historically underserved students. This explanation for observed performance disparities, the “course deficit model”, considers the negative impact of environmental conditions on student learning and participation. Dr. Ballen will demonstrate how some of these barriers can be mitigated by instructional and institutional choices that promote the academic excellence for all students across science disciplines.
