Best Practices in Astronomy Education:Making Your Astronomy Class More Inclusive
Abstract
It is important to make our introductory courses inclusive of students from all backgrounds so that all students in astronomy, and in science, feel that they belong. We discuss how to actively engage all of your students, along a wide variety of axes of diversity. We provide strategies to mitigate bias and increase inclusion in courses, including tangible steps you can take right now to increase inclusion, from setting up your syllabus to daily interactions. Astronomy is for everyone.
