@JeffBioEd at #TheGradingConference: course content in a required anatomy&physiology course is not aligned with future professional nursing and is actually exclusionary! How well does this apply to intro chem, bio, math?
Looking forward to the important conversations this hopefully gets started regarding the potential for prereq course content expectations to "actively exclude individuals from STEM or healthcare careers" and related impacts on equity and justice in undergraduate STEM education.
New pub alert‼️ Our study (@kimberlydtanner @JeffBioEd) reveals how healthcare professionals find details & amount of content in A&P prerequisites as exclusionary, unmemorable, & irrelevant to their careers. Many implications for other STEM prerequisites!

Just to clarify within this thread, my kids attend a public school in SFUSD (SF Community School). The microphone for public comments wasn't the best, so it's understandable that this might not have been clearly heard.
