    The Unseen Impact of Inclusive Professional Development and Pedagogic Training on Underestimated Minority Graduate Students
    (UC Santa Cruz: Institute for Scientist & Engineer Educators, 2022-09-05) Lui, Lauren M.; Roth, Danica L.; Roybal-Jungemann, Gabriel; Irvine, Joshua Lelemia
    Ostensibly, the main goal of the ISEE Professional Development Program (PDP) is to teach scientists and engineers how to be intentional, inclusive educators by experiencing and designing inquiry-based learning activities. However, the PDP program has many indirect, positive effects on its participants as well, including building community and a sense of STEM identity, fluency to understand and discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion topics, and recognizing the importance of psychological safety in learning, academia, and industry. We present four narratives from past participants with underestimated minority identities, who discuss how the PDP program had a positive impact on their growth as scientists and engineers. In each case, the PDP provided critical tools, knowledge or support that enabled their success as graduate students and into their respective career and life journeys.
