STEM Education Scholars Program

December 27, 2007

In summer 2008, CIRTL will offer an opportunity for non-tenured faculty members, post-doctoral associates, and academic-track Ph.D. students to strengthen their preparation as college teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Participants will have the opportunity to meet nationally-recognized experts in STEM teaching and learning, and to:

  • Practice techniques for engaging students in active learning;
  • Apply their research skills to improving their own teaching;
  • Develop a lasting learning community with other new STEM faculty across the CIRTL network;
  • Teach with awareness of diversity in the areas of learning style, culture, age, gender, and academic and personal background; and
  • Develop confidence in creating effective learning environments for students and faculty.

The application process is selective. For more information, or to apply, visit the CIRTL web site.
