STEM Course and Curriculum Redesigns
We will work with you on a three-step process to initially characterize your program’s current teaching, course design, and student outcomes landscape, to provide professional development strategies and events for you and your faculty on EBIP adoption and course structure revision, and finally to re-assess and document the positive impacts that have resulted from this process. All steps of the process are fully customizable to your program and will work in any STEM discipline.
Baseline Characterization
We begin the process by using reliable and validated instruments published in the STEM education literature to determine the levels of EBIPs and student-centered pedagogy adoption by your faculty in your program. We also determine the types and extents of performance gaps, if any, that exist in your courses and program.
Professional Development
Once we know the strengths and opportunities for improvement in your program and courses, we will develop and implement a tailored and specific professional development approach to enact positive changes with you and your faculty which will lead to improved student outcomes for your program.
Follow-Up Assessment
Finally, we will follow-up and repeat the baseline assessment to document the positive changes that have occurred due to the professional development around EBIPs and student-centered pedagogies and the incorporation of them into your courses. You will be able to use this evidence to promote and celebrate your program’s efforts to improve your students’ outcomes.
