Abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide The persistence of a diversity deficit in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields has motivated much research and discussion aimed toward creating a more representative student body and workforce. However, once these students and workers are in the field, their diverse traits are often ignored. Minority groups are known to be less likely to pursue more advanced education and careers in STEM. STEM instructors can support the retention of diverse students by using culturally relevant teaching practices, rather than only focusing on recruitment. When STEM faculties learn how to take advantage of diversity, all students benefit from engaging with multiple perspectives. Their diverse peers are allowed to enrich the classroom, and educational outcomes and retention are improved.
