To Teach Us You Must See Us: The Intersections Between Culturally Relevant Pedagogy and Community Cultural Wealth and Its Implications for Youth STEM Identity
Thu, April 24, 3:35 to 5:05pm MDT (3:35 to 5:05pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 2GAbstract
The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) workforce in the United States lacks racial/ethnic diversity (Fry et al., 2021; U.S. Census Bureau, n.d.-a.). STEM youth development (STEM-YD) programs that serve youth of color can be powerful tools for increasing diversity in the field by integrating cultural practices into instruction, honoring the racial and cultural backgrounds of their students (Ladson-Billings, 1992). A research study conducted between November 2023 – March 2024 explored the staff of a university-based STEM-YD program to assess the impact of integrating culturally relevant pedagogical practices into their STEM instruction. As a result of this staff professional development intervention, the STEM Identity development of the students of color did increase overtime within the program.
