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.

SUMMARY:Planning Your Teaching-as-Research Project
DESCRIPTION:Jumpstart your plans for a Teaching-as-Research (TAR) project in this 6-week flipped course designed to guide participants through developing a research question\, identifying project methods and outcomes\, and more. Each week\, students will watch videos\, read articles\, and complete assignments on their own time; in weekly sessions\, students will refine their work with peer review\, work through sticking points with instructors\, and build community to sustain their work. Throughout the course\, students will also be expected to meet occasionally with a local TAR contact (typically the person at your CIRTL member institution who mentors TAR students and/or runs your institution’s TAR program) to refine key components of your TAR project plan. By the end of the course\, students will present a TAR project plan and be well-positioned to implement their project in the coming academic year.\nREGISTration is closed \nWhat is Teaching-as-Research?\nTeaching-as-Research (TAR) takes a deliberate and systematic approach towards investigating\, reflecting on\, and improving one’s own teaching. The TAR process follows an inquiry cycle that consists of the following stages: identifying of a challenge within the context of teaching and learning\, delving into the relevant scientific literature\, designing a project to elucidate why the challenge occurs or designing a teaching intervention to address the challenge\, implementing the project\, collecting data\, analyzing the data\, drawing conclusions\, and reflecting on the experience. TAR is a proactive and dynamic approach towards improving your teaching and document your teaching effectiveness. A TAR experience will provide a substantial example of your reflective\, professional practice applicable to a range of career outcomes. \nCourse Schedule\nThis 6-week course has weekly online sessions on Tuesdays at 3-4:30PM AT / 2-3:30PM ET / 1-2:30PM CT / 12-1:30PM MT / 11AM-12:30PM PT from June 13 through July 25 (skipping the week of July 4). \nWorkload\nYour instructors estimate students will need to spend 6-8 hours per week on work outside of class sessions including: watching videos\, reading articles\, completing assignments\, meeting with your local TAR contact\, and reviewing peer group work so that you can provide in-session feedback. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nThis course is limited to 25 students. Registration is open Monday\, May 15 and closes Thursday\, June 1. This course builds on a foundational understanding of teaching and learning\, and interested participants will need to share their teaching and/or teaching development experience in a brief course application. Instructors will review applications 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\nAll CIRTL Network programming is designed to help participants achieve familiarity with our Core Ideas.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Evidence-Based Undergraduate STEM Teaching
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Evidence-Based Undergraduate STEM Teaching is a massive 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. Past participants are overwhelmingly satisfied with the course (nearly 90% of Summer 2019 students were satisfied or extremely satisfied). \nThe 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. Topics include key learning principles\, such as the role of mental models in learning and the importance of practice and feedback; fundamental elements of course design\, including the development of learning objectives and assessments of learning aligned with those objectives; and teaching strategies for fostering active learning and inclusive classroom environments. Formats include video content and transcripts\, readings\, discussion forums\, quizzes\, and peer-graded assignments where participants will plan teaching and learning activities relevant to their disciplines.\nREGISTER \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. \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. See which campuses are offering MCLCs\, and who to contact to take part in your local MCLC\, at http://stemteachingcourse.org/mooc-centered-learning-communities-mclc/. \nWorkload\nYour instructors estimate participants will need to spend 4 hours per week on coursework. \nRegistration and Enrollment\nThis course has no cap on enrollment. Registration will open on Monday\, May 15 and stay open through the duration of the MOOC; however\, participants are strongly encouraged to register before the MOOC starts on Monday\, June 19 in order to fully benefit from this programming. \nAccessibility\nWe strive to be inclusive of anyone interested in participating in our activities.

SUMMARY:Using Teaching-as-Research to Advance Equitable Educational Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a two-part workshop that explores how CIRTL’s “teaching-as-research” framework can help you identify\, assess\, and improve upon equitable teaching approaches. Teaching-as-Research (or TAR) transforms curiosity about learning into a research question and helps connect and enrich teaching and learning. Learning-through-Diversity\, one of CIRTL’s core ideas\, explicitly values the dynamic array of identities and experiences among undergraduate students\, graduate students\, post-docs\, and faculty. If we imagine and overlap these core concepts as Venn Diagram circles\, we see the union of the two and an exciting opportunity to advance equitable and inclusive teaching practices through reflective and iterative teaching. In this workshop\, we will explore this union and develop a blueprint for designing and furthering inclusive and equitable educational experiences through a TAR prism. Participants will learn about: \n\nConceptualization and application of Learning-through-Diversity as pedagogical prism for designing\, developing\, and delivering inclusive\, equitable\, and accessible learning experiences.\nApplying TAR strategies to develop\, integrate\, and assess inclusive\, equitable\, and accessible teaching practices.\nDeveloping a blueprint for different participants to support and engage in DEIA-based scholarly teaching.\nDeveloping a framework for evolving two CIRTL Core Ideas through the intersections of them.\n\nREGISTER \nInstructor\nBrian Smentkowski\, University of Idaho \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis 2-session synchronous workshop will meet on Wednesday\, June 21 and June 28 at 1-2:30PM AT / 12-1:30PM ET / 11AM-12:30PM CT / 10-11:30AM MT / 9-10:30AM PT. \nRegistration & Enrollment\nThis workshop is open to the public (no cap).

SUMMARY:Beyond participation: Inclusive Perspectives on Student Engagement and Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Explore inclusive teaching and active learning frameworks in order to develop practices and class policies that support student engagement in this two-part workshop. Student participation is undeniably desirable in any classroom\, and yet it remains challenging to define its scope: how can we address the value of participation effectively and through an inclusive lens? In this workshop\, participants will explore both the student perspective and the instructor perspective of “participation” and consider the intersections between these practices and those of inclusive teaching. In session 1\, we will work on defining and setting expectations for student engagement\, and on building strategies within the framework of active learning in order to provide a practical approach to creating significant learning experiences. In session 2\, we will look at how instructors can harness the language of growth in the classroom when providing feedback on student engagement to center equity in the learning space. Participants will leave with a cache of inclusive participation strategies and a draft participation policy for a syllabus. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain how participation policies contribute to inclusive teaching and active learning\nDescribe evidence-based practices for increasing student engagement\nApply inclusive participation strategies in their own teaching contexts\nCraft an inclusive participation policy for a syllabus in their discipline\n\nThis workshop is part of CIRTL’s fall programming on evidence-based teaching fundamentals. \nInstructors\nLaura DiNardo\, Columbia University\nTamara Hache\, Columbia University\nAbby Schroering\, Columbia University\n \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis workshop meets in Zoom on Thursdays\, September 28 and October 5\, at 2-3:15PM AT / 1-2:15PM ET / 12-1:15PM CT / 11AM-12:15PM MT / 10-11:15AM PT. \nAudience\nThis workshop is designed first and foremost for graduate students\, faculty\, and instructional staff in STEM/SBE disciplines\, but generally relevant to anyone looking to learn new approaches to fostering inclusive student participation in the classroom at the college level. \nRegistration & Enrollment\nNo cap.

SUMMARY:Lab Reports\, Grants\, & Infographics: How Our Disciplines Shape the Writing We Assign
DESCRIPTION:What do lab reports\, grants\, and infographics have in common? For one thing\, they are all genres of writing that our students frequently come across in the STEM classroom! But how do we teach students to become more familiar with these genres? In this 2-hour workshop\, we will explore how developing a critical genre awareness can improve the writing assignments we design and the writing that students produce by examining how writing is bound by social\, cultural\, historical\, and linguistic contexts. At the end of the workshop\, participants will create a map of a genre in their discipline they would like to teach\, including its unique features and how they would assess their students’ learning. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the role that communities and genres play in the types of writing we assign\nCompare and contrast features of writing in similar genres across disciplines\nRecognize how your prior experiences and biases shape your understanding of genre\nCreate a map of a genre in your discipline and its features\n\nThis workshop is part of CIRTL’s fall programming on science communication. \nInstructors\nKristin Winet\, University of Arizona\nEmily Jo Schwaller\, University of Arizona \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis workshop meets in Zoom on Wednesday\, October 4 at 3-5PM AT / 2-4PM ET / 1-3PM CT / 12-2PM MT / 11AM-1PM PT. \nAudience\nThis workshop is designed first and foremost for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in STEM/SBE disciplines\, but generally relevant to anyone looking to get an introduction into different types of scientific writing assignments at the college level. \nRegistration & Enrollment\nCap: 35.

SUMMARY:Getting Started with Universal Design for Learning
DESCRIPTION:We know the one-size-fits-all approach to learning design is not optimal. But how do we incorporate flexibility into teaching and learning while still maintaining rigorous learning? In this workshop\, participants will learn the three principles that underpin Universal Design for Learning (UDL)\, an evidence-based pedagogical framework that fosters motivated\, resourceful\, and strategic learners. They will have the opportunity to apply these principles to a teaching artifact of their choice\, be it a syllabus\, assignment\, and/or teaching practice. Participants will come away with an expanded understanding of learner variability\, how it can be leveraged as an asset in the classroom\, and how to make learning more accessible for their students. No previous experience with UDL is necessary. By the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the 3 main principles of Universal Design for Learning\nExplain why each principle is important to consider when designing inclusive learning opportunities\nCritique a proposed learning activity and identify potential barriers to equitable access\nPropose ways of re-designing a learning community to foster equity by following the principles of UDL\n\nThis workshop is part of CIRTL’s fall programming on accessibility. \nInstructors\nKatie Healey\, University of California\, Davis\nAmanda Modell\, Stanford University \nWorkshop Schedule\nThis workshop meets in Zoom on Thursdays\, December 7 and 14 at 2-3:30PM AT / 1-2:30PM ET / 12-1:30PM CT / 11AM-12:30PM MT / 10-11:30AM PT. \nAudience\nThis workshop is designed first and foremost for graduate students\, postdoctoral researchers\, faculty\, and instructional staff in STEM/SBE disciplines\, but generally relevant to anyone looking for an introduction to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and accessible teaching practices at the college level. \nRegistration & Enrollment\nNo cap.
