Diversity and gender issues

With the globalization of the workplace comes a need to promote diversity and inclusion. The push for diversity and inclusion should start early and be reflected in our approach to education. In this talk I will show the results I have obtained using interactive teaching in the sciences. For example, I will show that an interactive approach in teaching not only helps improve the performance of all students, but also closes the performance gap for women and other underrepresented minorities. This approach therefore helps prepare a more balanced and diverse 21st century workforce that can compete in an increasingly diverse global marketplace.
