Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The 2025 consensus report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Transforming Undergraduate STEM Education: Supporting Equitable and Effective Teaching, calls on leaders of institutions and academic units, instructors, and other stakeholders to leverage their important roles to improve the landscape of undergraduate STEM education so that all students can thrive. As one step toward addressing inequities and transforming undergraduate STEM education, this report presents a set of Principles for Equitable and Effective Teaching. This report also provides guidance for improving teaching and related changes to the institutional context that are needed to support instructors and enable student-centered undergraduate STEM education.

This session will feature an overview of the report and recommendations from members of the committee that produced the consensus study, as well as discussion on future research directions based on the recommendations provided in the report.
