This series of four workshops were developed by PMPS Equity LeNS (Equity Leadership Network for STEM) team, a group equity experts and STEM education experts. The goal of these workshops is to empower educators, community program staff, and others who work with marginalized or underserved youth to effectively serve as an Ally*.
This workshop focuses on Instructional Practices for STEM Equity, practices that develop caring relationships, communicate high expectations, and create inclusive environments. Throughout this workshop, participants will examine how good instructional strategies promote equity in STEM for diverse learners. Participants will leave the workshop with a collection of high impact instructional strategies that they can implement immediately in their work.

*Ally - Someone who makes the commitment and effort to recognize their privilege (based on gender, class, race, sexual identity, etc.) and work in solidarity with oppressed groups in the struggle for justice. Allies understand that it is in their own interest to end all forms of oppression, even those from which they may benefit in concrete ways. (Center for the Study of Social Policy)
