scientist for the Center for Research on Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology (CRESMET), and an evaluator for several NSF projects. His first research strand concentrates on the relationship be- tween educational policy and STEM education. His second research strand focuses on studying STEM classroom interactions and subsequent effects on student understanding. He is a co-developer of the Re- formed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP) and his work has been cited more than 1500 times and his publications have been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals such as Science Education and the Journal of Research in Science Teaching.Prof. Stephen J Krause, Arizona State University Stephen

Finally,the ADVANCE director also had additional funding to recognize the department that made themost progress on the gender equity goals, by hiring or developing programming to supportdiverse faculty, based on their plan.Fifth, Acker argues, given that gender is embedded within power/class structures, evenindividuals who support gender equity may not want to make the associated changes to theunderlying power/class structure. One significant gendered power/class structure is the type offaculty appointment. Academic appointments include tenure-track faculty members withresearch, teaching

introductory engineering classes where certain students just can’t keep up with the rest of the class. Not everyone is cut out for engineering, not everyone has the natural intelligence, the grit, the academic background necessary for success. Certain students are struggling in this class, especially the students from disadvantaged backgrounds and groups. They ask a lot of questions in office hours, they work slowly, they seem lost in laboratory sessions. If they are struggling so deeply and so early, perhaps they aren’t going to make it. We feel bad for them and would like to help, but aren’t sure how to motivate them or catch them up. Do they need extra office hours? But there’s not time to help
