Building classroom and organizational structure around positive cultural values

Abstract: The Compass Project is a self-formed group of graduate and undergraduate students in the physical sciences at UC Berkeley. Our goals are to improve undergraduate physics education, provide opportunities for professional development, and increase retention of students-especially those from populations typically underrepresented in the physical sciences. Compass fosters a diverse, collaborative student community by providing a wide range of services, including a summer program and fall/spring seminar courses. We… Show more

“…These programs are informed by research on the importance of supportive environments for supporting the success of diverse groups of students (BHEF 2013;NA2 2010;Seymour and Hewitt 1997). These programs help students form a supportive learning community to engage with interesting and authentic science; details of these programs are reported on in prior work (Albanna et al 2013;Dounas-Frazer et al 2013). …”
