Fostering Student Success: Using the Underrepresentation Curriculum Across the USA

POSTER

Abstract

The Underrepresentation Curriculum (URC) is broadly applicable across all levels of physics, classroom settings, demographics, and state legislations. This poster will explore how to improve student success by incorporating the URC in different classroom contexts in four states: Florida, Texas, Utah, and Washington. We share the kinds of activities used, how to frame the lessons so that students will be engaged, the time frame allotted, the assessments used, student responses, and outcomes.
