Toward Awareness and Self-Reflection – It is important for faculty to recognize that the journey toward equity and inclusion in classrooms is not instantaneous. It requires that we be aware of any constraints that limit our ability to practice these inclusive principles and to reflect on how we can improve the overall learning experience for ALL students. a. Seed 1: Ground yourself by engaging with Project Implicit to better understand your own potential implicit biases b. Seed 2: Throughout the semester, reflect on strategies to improve equity and inclusion in the classroom c. Seed 3: Take time to reflect on potential triggers you may encounter in the classroom and

discussminority recruitment more in the next section.Minority Recruitment and Research: A report from the National Career DevelopmentAssociation Programs supports previous work that factors such as family, school, and career self-efficacy strongly influence minority students’ STEM career decision-making [12]. Just asprograms exist to encourage women in science, programs for minorities also exist. TheUniversity of Tennessee, for example, established a Big Orange STEM Saturday (BOSS) and is aprogram the university developed to introduce underrepresented youth to STEM careers [13]which yielded positive results - not only did students gain a better understanding of STEMcareers, but also the results justify a change in teachers’ curriculum to reflect ongoing

because all the planets have different characteristics but allhave a similar pathway – they orbit the sun, similar to how students in a teamwork project havediverse backgrounds but are all engaged in a common pursuit. Participants were then asked“What support do you need from others and what do you need to do yourself to keep your teamproject in orbit?” To give each person time to reflect, students first responded by writing onindex cards and then ranked the importance of their answers. The focus group ended with eachparticipant sharing their responses and discussing the significance of their thoughts with regardto improving teamwork projects. The theme of the third focus group was to link the core values and assets identified in thefirst

Entrance into these programs for accelerated students, a successfulcandidate needs to score well on a proprietary test and/or a nationally recognized intelligencetest. In return, the students enroll in accelerated science courses for ages 6-17. AdvancedPlacement classes are taught as well as classes in coding, computer science, engineering,physics, and space exploration. Small classes afford the student access to other students withsimilar interests and mentors. Courses offered by these two programs reflect the research natureof the University and allow students to study genomes, cybersecurity
