Centering Relationships, Active Teaching, and Career Development in One STEM Teaching Practicum
New Directions for Community Colleges, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Broadening participation in STEM fields, particularly among underrepresented minority (URM) groups, has long been a national priority (AIR 2013; The Education Trust 2024). Community colleges—by virtue of their open access, diverse student populations, and teaching‐focused missions—are uniquely positioned to contribute to this effort.
