A summary of the latests findings from California’s Humanizing Online STEM grant project are now available. Building on earlier findings, Research Brief 2 summarizes the results from instructor surveys that examine how the Humanizing Academy influenced faculty beliefs and teaching practices, as well as the analysis of administrative data that shows student-level outcomes of courses taught by Humanizing Academy participants. Once again, the survey findings show significant shifts in how faculty think about teaching and about students, with evidence of growth towards a more equity-focused mindset, as well as changes in teaching practices. The administrative data revealed substantial gains for racially minoritized students, narrowing opportunity gaps in grades, persistence, and pass rates.
