Under this program,instructors at TCC were asked to recruit interested students and organize research projects ofrelevance to the community which would be for duration of one or two semesters. As a result,from 2006 to 2010, a series of student projects were proposed by the TMCC faculty on the topicof radon entrance into residential homes to study: 1
universityfaculty, particularly those in STEM fields are not familiar with these terms. Therefore, the firststep in establishing the faculty development program was to develop a definition for culturallyresponsive pedagogy.In order to gain buy-in from stakeholders, our definition of CRP needed to be culturallyresponsive to the existing administration and faculty of Angelo State University. To do this, webuilt upon the work of Ladson-Billings (1995, 2014), Gay (2002, 2010), Wlodkowski &Ginsberg (1995), and Castaneda and Mejia (2018) but couched our definition in the concept ofstudent centeredness (a familiar term on our campus), and in the context of the university’smission statement.
