For example, some of the 29mixed-race Native American students’ pre-college experiences and backgrounds are notdistinguishable from majority students. Programs should be sensitive to students negotiatingdifference, not just to the white majority, but to other ethnic and racial minorities, languagedifference and sex/gender differences along with their own identity development as a mixed-raceperson. Assuming that the obstacles and challenges faced by members of a racial or ethnic groupare understood and experienced universally does not serve the best interests of all students.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the

Spanish.How can I support Migrant Students during EPIC as a Lab Instructor? To best support Migrant Students (and all students in EPIC), it is very important that Lab Instructors create an inclusive environment by encouraging respect for and celebration of differences, create a positive learning environment, and allow students to demonstrate their individual knowledge. Here are eight best practices for working with diverse groups of students, including migrant students: 1. Ensure good visuals on presentations that can support students who are English- language learners. Example: Show lab set-ups and activities with pictures in addition to explaining through words. 2. Allow and

The courses offered by the FEF target students from 7th through 12th grades, focusprimarily on test-taking strategies, and provide invaluable opportunities to practice taking theSAT. Experience has shown that students who practice taking the SAT generally perform betteron the actual examination. Thus, the FEF’s courses are designed to allow repeat attendance forcontinued, structured practice taking real prior SAT’s.Challenge and Highlights of the 2010 Camps for Scholastic and Career SuccessIn 2010, FEF offered to conduct an intensive summer academic camp for high school students atEast Lee County High School.

Such project longevity is a key factor intruly engaging students in real-world STEM applications and it carries the inherent benefit ofproviding the time needed for students to fact find and to establish a deep research approach tothe project, two aspects of problem solving that have been described as “vital stages in thecreative process.”6 Long-term efforts on a continuing project also offer the opportunity forstudents to fail, often, in their design attempts to solve STEM problems and to try anew, again,learning with each attempt. Frequent failure has been strongly linked to creativity andinnovativeness in the workplace and, ultimately, to very successful people.7
