Evidence-Based Teaching in Science and Engineering Seminar

Engage with evidence-based practices in STEM instruction in a four-week seminar for TAs and future instructors. In this series, you will apply the principles of backward design to develop student learning objectives, aligned assessments, and active learning activities, culminating in a syllabus for a introductory class in your discipline. This seminar is a learning community where participants will give and receive feedback on assignments from their peers. This Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) learning community is targeted toward graduate students and postdocs in STEM teaching for the first time or seeking to advance their teaching by engaging with educational research. Graduate students can register for the series through this form (https://goo.gl/forms/P7LaZi8iEqEO7xD72) and enrollment is limited to 20 postdocs and 10 graduate students. All meetings will be held at the CUMC campus on 4/3, 10, 17, and 24. Participants who attend all workshops and complete all assignments will receive a letter from the CTL certifying completion. All sessions are facilitated by Chris Chen, Center for Teaching and Learning.
