Working students are often framed as distracted or less engaged, yet employment can also cultivate belonging, community cultural wealth, transferable skills, and persistence in STEM. This microbrew translates an analytic autoethnography of working twenty-eight hours per week while pursuing a biology degree into a practical, instructor-facing course reflection tool. Attendees will examine where their own course policies, schedules, assignments, and participation expectations may unintentionally disadvantage working learners or overlook expertise developed beyond campus. They will then identify one concrete, work-aware revision that preserves academic rigor while increasing transparency, validation, and access. The session invites feedback on the tool’s clarity, usefulness, and adaptability across undergraduate biology contexts and is intended as a first step toward piloting and evaluating work-aware teaching practices.
