“You don’t belong here.”

Two nearly identical and maddening workplace stories of gender discrimination, 66 years apart, and what we can do to change the narrative.

Why I Put Pronouns on my Email Signature, Social Media Profiles, and Nametags, and Why You Should Too

The simple answer is because it normalizes the sharing of pronouns for more inclusive spaces. In this post, I include important definitions framing your understanding of why pronouns matter. I then offer a brief explanation on gender-neutral pronouns, offer my recommendations for what you can do, and answer a few frequently asked questions.

Confidence or Self-efficacy?

Confidence is an informal, popularized term to describe the intersection of self-efficacy, self-esteem, self-concept, and identity — all key constructs that affect our motivation, performance, and persistence.

What People Say About Meagan

You are the world’s leading expert on the topic of training guidance counselors for promoting STEM.

Meagan is an excellent leader and coach because she challenges me appropriately, and gives specific, constructive feedback while ensuring I feel valued and positive about the work I am doing.

Thanks again for spending the time with us this past week [at Learning.com]. Everyone was very excited about the engineering curriculum you developed and especially your expertise and passion. This should be a great year for us promoting STEM, thanks to you.

I wanted express my great appreciation and gratitude for the work that Meagan did in our workshop. Her enthusiasm, compassion, and professionalism in leading me and my colleagues through difficult, and often uncomfortable issues covered by your program was exemplary. If her comportment in our workshop was indicative of how NAPE as a whole advances the vital mission of advancing equity in STEM and education as a whole, the world will be a better place because of it. I will certainly implement the lessons I learned from Meagan into my work and appreciate all that she and your organization do in promoting student success.

Meagan is intelligent, capable, passionate, talented, deeply experienced and educated in technology and STEM education.
