- This $389,897 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will fund a three-year meta-analysis investigating the effectiveness of writing instruction in secondary math and science classes. The project aims to: a) determine the overall impact of writing instruction on students' math/science achievement, math/science-specific writing, and general writing composition; b) identify factors that influence the effectiveness of writing instruction in...
This $196,316 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports the development of antiracist writing pedagogies across STEM curricula at Humboldt State University. Over the one-year period from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023, the University will provide professional development to approximately 112 STEM faculty on inclusive frameworks for language and writing development, antiracist writing assessment theories, and culturally sustaining pedagogies. Specifically, 12 engineering instructors will participate in a 12-week Faculty Learning Community to engage with theories of antiracist writing instruction. Additionally, a six-week writing workshop series will be open to all STEM faculty and focus on actionable models for antiracist and equity-minded writing assignments and rubrics. The project aims to spearhead knowledge around the impact of such professional development on STEM instruction and support improved STEM education outcomes for a diverse student population.
