71 Faculty Mindsets & Minority Student Achievement Gaps | Journal Club with Krista Rompolski The A&P Professor

Our second Journal Club episode pops in sooner than expected with a mind-blowing study that shows that when faculty believe that student ability is fixed (not flexible), under-represented minority students do not perform as well as in STEM courses taught by faculty with a growth mindset. Journal Club director Krista Rompolski joins Kevin for an important discussion.
