Researchers have identified a need to address persistent challenges globally of promoting women to leadership positions in higher education. In Lebanon, researchers found that women filled just 15 of 65 dean positions in higher education. Among the challenges faced by women aspiring to academic leadership positions, according to researchers, are both a lack of professional development and the collective network support needed to elevate their presence and voice.
Researchers have identified a need to advance current initiatives that are designed to support environments for students systemically excluded by race and gender in STEM academic tracks. One way to achieve greater diversity within science, technology, engineering and math courses is by providing STEM educators with access to culturally relevant pedagogy approaches.

How did we as a society arrive at this place of profound educational inequity, and what can we do about it as educators? We will give an overview of our Teaching for Equity & Justice (TEJ) program that focuses on educator mindsets and strengthens school and district approaches to building a culture where everyone thrives. Our approach begins with an examination of self. Through interactive pedagogy, educators examine historical access to and the purpose of education. With that historical context, we explore current systems of inequity.

Professional development opportunities can equip educators with the skills and approaches needed to teach global sustainability issues. However, most professional development assessment programs have not been designed with a sustainability education focus.
Education’s role in global sustainability has typically focused on the science behind the solutions. Trained engineers, scientists, biologists and tech entrepreneurs, for example, are pursuing research and developing product-based solutions aimed at addressing social, economic and environmental challenges.
