Promoting Inclusion in Physics Classrooms - The Practicing Professionalism Framework

Explore a 56-minute presentation by Professor Martha-Elizabeth "Marty" Baylor from Carleton College on the Practicing Professionalism Framework, a curricular approach designed to foster inclusion in physics classrooms. Learn how this framework addresses student biases, promotes course transparency, and mitigates behaviors that undermine learning goals. Discover how the framework treats students as members of the physics community, changing their perceptions and helping them see themselves reflected within it. Gain insights into the data that informed the framework's development, its implementation across various courses, and its potential application in different STEM disciplines and educational levels. Understand how this versatile approach, independent of specific pedagogical methods, is building a more inclusive environment in physics education.
