SUMMARY:Students Learn More from Interactive and Inclusive Teaching\, 
 Astronomy Colloquium\, Julia Kregenow\, Penn State University
DESCRIPTION:For over twenty years\, research has consistently shown th
 at students learn more from active learning at the college level. Yet 
 active learning is still rarely used by university faculty. Even small
  changes benefit student learning. I will share practical strategies f
 or incorporating small doses of active learning without the need to co
 mpletely overhaul your course or teaching style. Furthermore\, many of
  us have heard about growth vs. fixed mindset\, and that students with
  a growth mindset learn more. But recent results show that a teacherâ€
 ™s mindset *about their students* matters just as much. Instructors wh
 o believe that success is within reach for all students lead their stu
 dents to higher learning gains and higher persistence in STEM. This is
  particularly true for URM students\, who historically have had lower 
 retention in STEM. Lastly\, I will also provide strategies to augment 
 student motivation by articulating your goals\, reducing barriers to p
 articipation\, and using differentiated instruction to simultaneously 
 offer more challenge to over-prepared students and more support for un
 der-prepared students.
