BECOME A LEADER IN
INCLUSIVE STEM EDUCATION

We are excited to announce the continuation of the E3 Leadership Academy (E3LA), an initiative consisting of a series of training sessions designed to promote inclusive instruction and accessible course design. E3LA is not just a workshop; it is an opportunity to make a lasting impact on our campus and beyond. Whether you are looking to enhance your teaching and instruction, mentorship, or administrative practices — particularly within STEM disciplines — through a lens of inclusivity and equity, the E3 Leadership Academy is for you.

This series of workshops will take place over the course of a week and will explore topics such as culturally responsive course design, identifying power & privilege, inclusive mentoring, and more. Staff cohort members are expected to attend the first three days of the E3 Leadership Academy, which focus on instruction, collaboration, and application techniques.

Funding Opportunities

• Cornerstone Project Support: For staff interested in developing and implementing a Cornerstone project, E3 will provide administrative and financial assistance to support project implementation, up to $2,000.
• Professional Development Funding: Additional funding opportunities are available to support E3LA staff cohort members who wish to get involved in external professional development opportunities. This funding can help to cover travel, conference registration fees, and associated accommodations.

Professional Development

• Inclusive Education Competency: Become a member of the competent staff leader cohort trained in inclusive education, recognized for your desire and ability to create positive change within your administrative contexts.
• Accreditation Microcredentials/Badges: Earn the Level 1 badge from the E3 Institute as an “Inclusive Education Advocate,” enhancing your professional profile and demonstrating your commitment to inclusive education.
• Monthly Leadership Meetings: Engage in monthly gatherings post-training to discuss project progress, share insights, and collaborate with peers, furthering your leadership and project management skills.

Accreditation Microcredentials/Badges

Following completion of E3LA, members of the staff leader cohort will earn the Level 1 badge from the E3 Institute as an “Inclusive Education Advocate,” enhancing your professional profile and demonstrating your commitment to inclusive education.

After attending the E3LA workshops, participants can write a reflection and complete a survey for the Office of Teaching Evaluation and Assessment Research (OTEAR) to earn the Level 1 badge as a “Lifelong Learning in Inclusive Teaching.” This badge is part of OTEAR’s Classroom Inclusivity Series.
