People with disabilities are often left out of conversations and initiatives that support diversity, equity, and inclusion. With a sizeable fraction of the US population having some type of disability, it is unfathomable and unfortunate that people often count us out when it comes to degrees and careers in engineering and other STEM fields. There is an urgent need to RE-IMAGE who we see as engineers and FINE-TUNE our climate and culture, eradicating barriers to success for all students.
In this episode, I speak with Ann Gulley, Tutor Coordinator in the Ginn College of Engineering at Auburn University, about Process-Driven Math - her team's novel method of teaching and assessing mathematics in a way that reduces barriers for students with and without disabilities. We also spend a bit of time talking about very practical aspects of education such as how standards are (or should be) set and creating tutoring programs that are supportive of and that equitably engage students from all backgrounds and identities.
