This presentation invites faculty and staff participants at all levels to share key elements and insights from the first offering of “the Inclusive STEM Teaching Project” at the College of Natural Sciences in Spring 2023. The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project is a national professional development program designed to help faculty and advisors in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields incorporate and expand inclusive practices for student success into their teaching and mentoring. This effort disseminates effective teaching strategies to create an inclusive and culturally respectful environment.

Therefore, diversity and multiculturalism — through the lenses of ability, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, economic, cultural, and beyond — can be promoted in our classroom. To improve students’ learning experiences and likelihood of success, educators should refine their strategies, methods, and materials based on literature-based best practices. This presentation strives to facilitate instructor exploration of these ideas, to provide strategies, methods and resources to utilize in the classroom for participants.
