Join Our Community of Facilitators – Inclusive STEM Teaching Project

Team standing in rows image We offer our Inclusive STEM Teaching course participants a blended learning opportunity through facilitated virtual learning communities. Synchronous dialogue spaces are encouraged as part of the course experience to facilitate participants’ reflection and idea generation, help participants contextualize our content within their local institution and teaching environment, and ensure that participants experience productive discomfort and personal growth throughout their course experience rather than directed or unintended harm.

Facilitator Opportunity

We are seeking teams of 2-3 applicants from each institution who will facilitate local learning communities at their institution. Applicant teams selected for the training will commit to participating in a day long session on the Charles River campus of Boston University on Tuesday, May 28 from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm EST.

We emphasize team facilitation to encourage institutions to develop shared capacity for engaging in dialogues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as to create a local support network for facilitators that participate in our project.

Joining our facilitator community offers the following benefits:
