PLR Consulting To Serve As External Evaluator For Research Foundation Of SUNY, College Geneseo Proposal

Dr. Pamela Leggett-Robinson (PLR Consulting) will serve as the External Evaluator for the Research Foundation of SUNY, College of Geneseo’s funded proposal: RCN-UBE: Biologists and Graph Interpretation: Professional development for an online curriculum to foster data literacy and value diverse identities.

The funded project will create multiple professional development opportunities within a supportive network of faculty as they generate, disseminate, and train other to use the new BioGraphl modules. These modules will address data literacy while fostering diversity in undergraduate biology classrooms by framing lessons on graph and data interpretation around the scientific contributions of biologists who are members of historically excluded groups (HEGS) and by creating video interviews with these biologists, allowing students to hear directly from HEGs about their discoveries. The funded project will serve as a mechanism of change for inclusion in biology and improve data literacy.
