Restorative Practices in STEM: Building Trust and Accountability

Thursday, March 21 • 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Colorado Convention Center - Mile High Ballroom 2C


STRAND: Student Learning and Inclusion

Show Details

Diversity in STEM is crucial; however, we need to do more than just talk about it. In order to really create inclusive spaces, we must address the dark side of science which has led many groups to shy away from pursuing these fields. This harm can be repaired through restorative practices.

TAKEAWAYS:
Attendees will understand the history of science in the United States. By acknowledging the systemic obstacles and barriers that certain underrepresented groups faced, we can implement restorative strategies to create inclusive science classrooms, such as: circles, conferences, and restorative questions.

SPEAKERS:
Dr. Josue Falaise (GOMO Educational Services: No City, No State)
