We have the responsibility and the opportunity to make choices in our teaching and in our programs to better attract and support a diverse population of students. To move forward with this work, we will discuss the challenges and barriers students encounter, and explore a range of approaches that can be adopted to broaden participation and foster inclusion at the course and program levels. At the department and program level, we will apply a framework of engagement, capacity, and continuity (Jolly et al., 2004) to program evaluation and design. For the plenary and concurrent workshop sessions, we will draw from our collective experiences, from the science and sociology literature on this topic, from InTeGrate modules, from NAGT's Traveling Workshop Program, from SAGE 2YC resources, and from recent publications in the Journal of Geoscience Education (e.g. Carabajal et al., 2017; Callahan et al., 2017; Sherman-Morris & McNeal, 2016; Wolfe & Riggs 2017). Workshop participants will leave with specific strategies to implement in their classes, as well as with discussion points to share with their programs.</div></div><div><br></div><div></div><div><div><u>Workshop Goals</u></div><div><ul><li style="margin-left:15px">Discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion and how they strengthen Earth and environmental sciences</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Recognize barriers to and opportunities for inclusion</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Explore strategies and practices that attract students, cultivate their science identities, help them to thrive in college and beyond</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Apply a framework of engagement, capacity, and continuity to program evaluation and design</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Develop an action plan with strategies to strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion at the course and program levels</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Enable networking, sharing, and collaboration within the Earth education community to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion</li></ul><div><u>Workshop Cost</u></div></div></div><div><u><br></u></div><div><div>There is no fee to attend this workshop, and the project grant covers participant meals and supplies during the workshop.
