Bok Seminar - Foundations of Teaching in STEM
Date and Time
Location
Led by Anza Mitchell
How do you cultivate the knowledge and skills necessary for effectively teaching collegiate science and engineering? Ideally you can make your classes as inspiring and empowering as the research you conduct in your lab, studio, or office by bringing the enthusiasm of discovery into your classroom. In this seminar, we will explore evidenced-based practices on teaching and learning in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and provide ample opportunity for you to practice applying this research to your own teaching. Key topics will include: identifying and writing student-centered learning goals, developing a variety of active learning exercises that facilitate student learning, discussing how to incorporate evidence-based teaching methods to create problem set and exam questions to inspire and measure learning, and fostering an inclusive classroom environment. This seminar is designed for STEM instructors at all levels, whether you are leading a section in a class as a TF or developing a class of your own.
This is the first session of a 6-session seminar. Registration required.
