Institutions anddepartments should consider developing more robust support structures that go well beyond whatis typically considered an accessibility service. For example, creating opportunities for studentsto be mentored with peers or professionals who might share similar experiences. Perhaps one ofthe strongest interventions to support and promote sense of belonging would be curriculum andpedagogy adjustments that include more diverse perspectives, especially including those ofpeople with disabilities.

Ultimately, such changes may correct previously exclusive signals, both subtle andexplicit, that impact student belonging and thus make it more likely that minoritized groups willpersist within STEM [8]–[10].However, less of this critical examination of higher educational practice has focused on thegrading itself and the choice of scoring mechanisms that instructors use to describe theperformance of their students. Generally, the benchmark by which instructors may judge theefficacy of inclusive teaching practice has been an increase in exam scores or final grades.Essentially, an

importantly, educators rely heavily on metaphors to facilitate teaching andlearning processes [35]. Martinez et al. [35] collected reflections from 50 experienced teachersand noticed that most draw on the idea of teaching and learning as a transmission of knowledge.A few consider it a constructivist endeavor or a social process. They add that integrating studiesof metaphors in instructional psychology and curriculum design can drive home the point thatmetaphors are like the blueprints of thinking about teaching and learning, and the blueprints weuse to shape the classrooms we build [35]. Studies exploring how metaphors are used forunderstanding and communicating abstract ideas are prevalent across disciplines. The nextsection will summarize the

Even though criticalthinking can be taught as a course, the amounts currently taught are arguably disap-pointing, so many instructors introduce it within their problem-solving and combineit with subject-matter instruction. To make appropriate incorporation of CT in teaching, some research studies sug-gested specific teaching approaches employing a critical thinking model. For instance,the proposed model by Zivkovil
