GMiS Inclusive STEMM Excellence Institute – July 1-3, Washington, DC
https://s5.goeshow.com/gms/inclusive/2024/
In a time of social, political, and legal challenge, Great Minds in STEM (GMiS) sees a need to support educators and policymakers in STEMM and beyond in their efforts to be inclusive in their teaching while addressing the learning losses exacerbated by COVID. Therefore, we are hosting the Inclusive STEMM Excellence Institute, July 1-3, 2024 in Washington, DC with the following broad aims:
- Provide educators and their constituents with the tools to promote Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) in various settings for various populations within an increasingly hostile social/political/legal environment.
- Provide policymakers with tools for making a continuing case for DEIA efforts and encourage their support of classroom teachers to engage in such efforts
- Provide educators and policymakers opportunities to network with peers, knowledgeable subject matter experts, and resource providers in order to enhance STEMM learning environments.
