In this session, we will explore how explicit discussion of communities and the virtues that allow them to thrive, framed by a discussion of vocation as a call to live a certain type of life, make a difference in the training of future STEM leaders. You will have an opportunity to learn about how to implement these practices in your science classrooms or labs. At the end of the session, we will provide access to curriculum you can use with students to teach them about how to work well in teams and to improve engagement in your classrooms or research spaces.
