A comprehensive learner-centered course that models and leverages experiential learning practices to support students’ sense of belonging, with a focus on computational modeling.
Learn more about the course
Inclusive teaching practices strive to cultivate equitable and accessible learning environments where students feel valued, supported, and a sense of belonging. In mathematics and computer sciences, inclusive teaching goes hand-in-hand with opportunities for students to experience real mathematics and computer programming in pursuit of solutions to real problems that are meaningful to them.
Topics include:
- What is Experiential Learning?
- Experiencing EL through computational modeling
- Addressing coding apprehension
- Embracing diversity in STEM
- Handling difficult conversations
- Applying ideas to practice
