| Abstract Title: | Courses to Careers (C2C) Workshop: Professional Development through Student-Instructor Partnerships |
|---|---|
| Abstract Type: | Contributed Poster Presentation |
| Abstract: | Over the past year, we have developed the Courses to Careers (C2C) workshop, which is a dual-thread, professional development (PD) experience that is centered on creating faculty-student partnerships to address ableism in physics courses and careers. With both faculty and disabled students in the room, this workshop employs a unique model that elevates and centers disabled students' expertise and lived experience to aid in course reform, while the same disabled students also benefit from faculty expertise in potential STEM career pathways. In this poster, we present the structure of the workshop; highlight how multiple theoretical frameworks and the values central to our team influenced the activity design; and initial impacts on participants from the first implementation. |
