Abstract Details: Schools around the country grapple with policies, practices, and beliefs that perpetuate educational inequities. Research has shown that educators enter the classroom with good intentions yet lack sufficient preparation for disrupting and redressing the historical inequities entrenched in communities and schools. Inclusive teaching requires more than good intentions; it is an ongoing commitment to learning and making equitable and inclusive changes to pedagogical practices and curriculum to support all students. In this talk, I will discuss how my research contributes to ongoing efforts to provide effective professional learning for educators that centers social justice, inclusive teaching, and antiracist pedagogy. Specifically, I will present findings from my work that explore the important role of faculty learning communities in advancing equitable and inclusive practices in STEM education.
