Experts believe that without a strong STEM workforce, America could lose its position as the world’s preeminent power. However, America is facing a STEM labor shortage, and part of the reason is racial. African Americans are underrepresented in STEM jobs , and Black students leave STEM majors at nearly double the rate of whites. The problem has roots at the K-12 level: while 15% of public school students are Black , only 7% of the STEM teacher population is.

Flipped classrooms aren’t a new concept, but they saw adoption at scale during the pandemic as educators looked for ways to keep college students interested and engaged from beyond the classroom. Even with a partial return to in-person learning, many higher education institutions still use flipped classroom models for HyFlex and hybrid instruction. Here’s what that looks like, both in theory and in practice.

Or at least not well enough to grasp the complex information being discussed. And not only is there a linguistic gap between you and your medical team, but there is also a cultural barrier that’s preventing you from getting the quality of care you need and deserve.
