The three-day STEM Faculty Institute on Teaching, which takes place June 14–16, 2016 from 9:00 am–3:00 pm, will bring together Washington University full-time faculty from Arts & Sciences and Engineering, as well as St. Louis area STEM faculty, to develop strategies for incorporating evidence-based teaching practices that can improve student learning and encourage undergraduates to persist in STEM majors.

Interactive presentations will include topics such as

• Developing Strategies for Inclusive Teaching
• Applying Cognitive Science to Improve Teaching
• Crafting Engaging Clicker Questions
• Facilitating Collaborative Learning with In-Class Group Work
• Teaching Students How to Read and Evaluate Scientific Literature

Each afternoon, participants will gather in working groups to design active-learning activities that can be integrated into their courses.

STEM FIT is developed and facilitated by The Teaching Center, with support from the Teagle Foundation.
