Explore strategies and methods for implementing culturally relevant pedagogy in physics education at the post-secondary level. Delve into Dr. Clausell Mathis's research on a female physics instructor's efforts to incorporate culturally relevant teaching practices, highlighting key findings such as addressing sensitive topics, encouraging academic excellence, and adapting curriculum to students' strengths. Learn about the challenges and opportunities in making pedagogical changes to support culturally relevant instruction, and gain insights into Dr. Mathis's current work on resource-oriented instruction and mechanistic reasoning in physics problem-solving. Discover practical approaches for physics faculty to become culturally relevant educators, including tips for initiating surveys, addressing local issues, preparing for trigger topics, and overcoming student resistance. Understand the importance of culturally relevant pedagogy for all students, not just those from diverse backgrounds, and explore small ways to start implementing these practices in your classroom.
