The Chemistry Department will host Dr. Senetta Bancroft, associate professor at Southern Illinois University, for a colloquium titled, “Designing Equitable High-Impact Flipped Chemistry Classrooms: Disaggregation, Mixing, and Theory in Action”, on Friday, Feb. 28, at 4 p.m. in Todd Wehr Chemistry 121.
Bancroft has expertise in science teacher professional development, qualitative research methods and the use of critical theories to inform science education research and practice. Her research currently focuses on teacher beliefs about science instruction and the impacts of sociocultural environments on traditionally underserved doctoral student communities’ persistence in STEM. Her teaching includes secondary science methods and introductory chemistry.
