By the end of this decade, the U.S. economy will annually create
hundreds of thousands of new jobs requiring a bachelor's degree in
STEM fields, particularly computer science. This increasing need
for computer scientists, coupled with an inconsistent agenda for
managing dramatic shifts in the demographic landscape of higher
education, compromises our competitiveness in scientific discovery
and innovation. As higher education seeks to address this issue,
the need for more culturally responsive approaches to undergraduate
STEM teaching also increases.This book uses the power of
reflection, storytelling, and data to holistically demonstrate the
effectiveness of a novel professional development intervention for
STEM faculty - Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM,
or TIDES - that significantly increased faculty self-efficacy in
implementing culturally responsive pedagogies. In it, the editors
combine the authentic voices of authors from multiple institutional
contexts and individual worldviews to assimilate and synthesize
broad theoretical concepts into practice in usable ways, while also
offering concrete applicable examples of strategies and solutions
that serve as an important comprehensive reference for all
undergraduate educators and administrators. This practical guide
provides a durable platform for building capacity in understanding
of the cultural complexities and institutional realities of
recruiting and retaining diverse students in STEM, particularly the
computer sciences.
