“When disabilities make school harder, you don’t get to do all the extras:” Participation in high-impact extracurriculars for students with disabilities

April 12, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

“When disabilities make school harder, you don’t get to do all the extras:” Participation in high-impact extracurriculars for students with disabilities 

Talk Description: High-impact practices are educational experiences, such as undergraduate research experiences, that can support undergraduate student retention. This talk will share findings from a recent national survey, exploring how the extracurricular nature of many high-impact practices may disproportionately prevent STEM students with disabilities from fully benefiting from these experiences.

Emma Goodwin Bio: After completing her B.S. in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics at UCLA, Emma worked as a non-student teaching assistant in the MIMG Research Immersion Laboratory courses and was introduced to biology education research through CEILs. These experiences led her to pursue her PhD in Biology Education Research at Portland State University, and she is currently an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in STEM Education Research at Arizona State University.

About ED Talks @CEILS: Learning Community Meetings: Join us as we explore the latest high quality STEM Education Research studies and how to implement effective and inclusive teaching. We welcome guest speakers from UCLA and other academic institutions to share their research and lead small group discussions with our teaching and learning community. Faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and anyone interested in STEM education research are welcome to participate.
