Barriers and solutions from the 4 perspectives: 1) Black women in STEM. 2) What women in STEM 3) First-generation college students. 4) the dominant group (mainly white men). Review the Jamboard results and see how these fantastic participants laid it all out, including some solutions!

What solutions we can address in our own classrooms?

1. Teach your students to fight for their beliefs
2. LISTEN, address, and correct while still providing a nurturing and educating environment (Kinder)
3. Set an environment that makes them feel comfortable talking to you . Building anrelationship.
4. Destroy stereotypes by inviting URM speakers and sponsoring mentors with my students.

7. Creating mentoring chances
8. Making sure to represent all of our students’ backgrounds and show their voices.

3. Continuing to being willing to collaborate, but also to EDUCATE.
4. Town Halls on campuses to discuss our perspectives.
5. Having conversations and surround yourself with a diverse group of people.
6. PLC
7. Lead a lunch session about cultural perspectives in STEM
8. During our PLCs.
9. Listen to non-dominant groups
