SUMMARY:Advancing Learning Through Evidence-Based STEM Teaching Spring 2023
DESCRIPTION:Advancing Learning through Evidence-Based STEM Teaching is an open\, online course (MOOC) designed to provide graduate students\, postdoctoral scholars\, and other aspiring faculty in STEM disciplines with an overview of effective college teaching strategies and the research that supports them. This course is also suitable for other interested university staff\, faculty\, and administrators. The goal of the eight-week course is to equip the next generation of faculty to be effective teachers\, thus improving the learning experience for the thousands of students they will teach. The course draws on the expertise of a variety of STEM faculty\, educational researchers\, and staff from university teaching centers\, many of them affiliated with the CIRTL Network. Participants will learn how to engage students in active learning in classrooms using strategies such as peer instruction and problem-based learning\, develop methods to help their students think more like experts in their fields using inquiry-based labs and similar activities\, turn their classrooms into learning communities through cooperative learning and using the diverse perspectives of their students\, and use approaches like flipped classrooms that make it possible to build active and collaborative learning into their classes. Formats include video content and transcripts\, readings\, discussion forums\, quizzes\, and peer-graded assignments where you will plan teaching and learning activities relevant to your discipline. \nRegister \nInstructors\nL.J. McElravy\, University of Nebraska – Lincoln\nBrian Rybarczyk\, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \nCourse Schedule\nThis 8-week course is entirely asynchronous\, meaning there are no regularly scheduled weekly meetings. Each week instructors will release new materials for students to access via the EdX platform. The course starts the week of Monday\, January 30. \nMOOC Centered Learning Communities (MCLCs)\nStudents enrolled in the MOOC have the option of taking part in an MCLC on their local campus. These MCLCs provide students with a face-to-face learning community designed to deepen their understanding of MOOC course materials. Please see the CIRTL MOOC website to find out which campuses are offering MCLCs\, and who to contact to take part in your local MCLC. \nWorkload\nYour instructors estimate participants will need to spend 4-5 hours per week on coursework. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nThis course has no enrollment cap. Students who register for this course will be redirected to the EdX platform to complete their registration. \nAccessibility\nWe strive to be inclusive of anyone interested in participating in our activities. If you have specific accessibility needs\, please contact us at info@cirtl.net in advance so that we may make the necessary accommodations. \n\nLearning Outcomes\nAssociate: Evidence-Based Teaching\n\nDescribe and recognize the value of realistic well-defined\, achievable\, measurable and student-centered learning goals.\nDescribe several known high-impact\, evidence-based effective instructional practices and materials and recognize their alignment with particular types of learning goals.\n\nAssociate: Learning Community\n\nDescribe and recognize the value of learning communities\, and how they impact student learning.\n\nAssociate: Learning-through-Diversity\n\nDescribe the impact of diversity on student learning\, in particular how diversity can enhance learning\, and how inequities can negatively impact learning if not addressed.\nDescribe and recognize the value of drawing on diversity in the development of teaching plans (including content\, teaching practices and assessments) to foster learning.\nDescribe several learning-through-diversity (LtD) techniques and strategies.

SUMMARY:Laying the Foundations for a Successful Teaching Career
DESCRIPTION:* This course is at capacity and closed for registration as of Thursday\, January 12. Registrants are notified of their enrollment status within 2 business days of registration closing. * \n\nThis five-session short course explores and builds a foundation of skills and habits to develop teaching approaches that will support a successful teaching career. Development of these skills can start as early as graduate school. This short course includes developing or refining some aspects of your teaching portfolio: \n\nSession 1: participants select and “unpack” the teaching approach of a favorite assignment or important learning activity asked of students\nSession 2: participants will develop an instrument (a rubric) to measure student learning that results from their teaching and learning process\nSessions 3 and 4: building upon prior sessions\, participants will plan a change to improve their teaching process in a way that aligns with elements of their teaching philosophy\nSession 5: participants will document their teaching approach for a teaching presentation\, or record a teaching demonstration with an accompanying explanation\n\n  \nInstructors\nDouglas Jerolimov & Richard Turner – Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) \nCourse Schedule\nThis 5-week short course meets at 3-4:30PM AT / 2-3:30PM ET / 1-2:30PM CT / 12-1:30PM MT / 11AM-12:30PM PT on Wednesday\, January 25\, February 8\, February 22\, March 8\, and March 22. \nWorkload\nThis course will consist of five 90-minute synchronous sessions occurring once every two weeks\, with pre- and post-meeting work. Students will watch 45-minute videos and complete worksheets based on the content in the videos. Participants will also do post-session work in response to feedback from course instructors and peers. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nThis short course has a cap of 25 students. Registration is open from Tuesday\, January 10\, until capacity is reached or until Friday\, January 20\, whichever comes first. Registration will be processed on a first-come\, first-served basis and registrants from CIRTL member institutions or alumni of CIRTL member institutions will receive priority. Once registration closes\, all registrants will be notified of their enrollment status. \nAccessibility\nWe strive to be inclusive of anyone interested in participating in our activities. If you have specific accessibility needs\, please contact us at info@cirtl.net in advance so that we may make the necessary accommodations. \n\nLearning Outcomes\nAssociate: Evidence-Based Teaching\n\nDescribe and recognize the value of realistic well-defined\, achievable\, measurable and student-centered learning\ngoals.\nDescribe several assessment techniques and recognize their alignment with particular types of learning goals.\n\nAssociate: Teaching-as-Research\n\nDefine and recognize the value of the Teaching-as-Research process\, and how it can be used for ongoing enhancement of learning.\nDescribe a “full-inquiry” cycle.\nDescribe how to access the literature and existing knowledge about teaching and learning issues\, in a discipline or more broadly.\n\nProfessional Development\n\nCreate materials that are commonplace in the academic job market.
