Explore the Alma Project, an initiative developed at San Francisco State University to promote inclusion in physics and astronomy education through reflective journaling. Learn about the project's goals, implementation strategies, and impact on creating inclusive classroom communities, especially during the COVID-19 era. Discover how monthly journaling prompts affirm students' intersectional identities, support connections with life experiences, and recognize cultural wealth. Gain insights into curriculum strategies, frequency counts, supplementary instruction, and implementation challenges. Examine survey results, positive outcomes, and self-care practices. Participate in a Q&A session addressing topics such as student engagement, training graduate teaching assistants, and tips for successful implementation in educational settings.
