knowledge in the STEMdomain. Story-driven learning, by contrast, involves students sharing personal, potentiallyvulnerable, stories to improve their identity formation and entrepreneurial mindset, necessitatingthe identification of potentially unique pedagogical practices distinct from those used intraditional STEM settings. We started with a deductive (or top-down) approach, drawing on existing theories andresearch to anticipate specific pedagogical practices expected in these classrooms (e.g., Ellis etal., 2019; Herbel-Eisenmann et al., 2013; Smith et al., 2013). This helped us hypothesize whichpedagogical practices might emerge in story-driven learning classrooms, such as instructorslinking past and current topics (Kranzfelder et al

the Hope Center for College,Community, and Justice, which added questions about caregiving status to its survey in 2019.[3]In the Hope Center’s survey, about 16% of the 23,000 respondents identified as CSt. The majorityhad significant financial challenges: 53% were food insecure and 68% were housing insecure;they also found that CSt were more likely to be female-identifying and from racially minoritizedbackgrounds. While CSt face many challenges, they also have, on average, higher GPAs thanother students. [2] This data suggests both the challenges and the assets of CSt. Serving thispopulation well requires a better understanding of how these and other factors contribute to theiracademic experience.
