Workshop

National Dialogue on Transforming STEM Teaching Evaluation in Higher Education

January 14 - 27, 2021

Past

Materials

About

High-quality, evidenced-based, inclusive undergraduate STEM educational experiences are important across all modes and locations of delivery. How we evaluate teaching becomes one lever for heightening attention to the quality of teaching. Grappling with better methods to evaluate teaching is a driver to engage faculty in re-envisioning approaches to high quality teaching and learning.

The National Dialogue is a three-part series of virtual events to further the national conversation about transformation of teaching evaluation. It is hosted by the NASEM/BOSE Roundtable on Systemic Change on Undergraduate STEM Education in collaboration with partners. The goals are to contextualize the critical importance of effective and inclusive teaching today; understand the broad array of models and approaches to improve the evaluation of teaching; and examine strategies on how to address cross-cutting challenges to reform processes for evaluating teaching. Participants were invited to submit posters, which were grouped into these topics: Changing Campus Conversation and Culture, Multiple Measures for Evaluating Teaching, and Incorporating Student Voices.

Opening Plenary: National Dialogue on Reforming STEM Teaching Evaluation in Higher Education (a live virtual event on Thursday, January 14, 2021 from 12:00-1:30pm ET

Closing Session: Cross-cutting Challenges and Opportunities to Improving Teaching Evaluation (a live virtual event with breakout rooms on Wednesday, January 27 from 1:00-4:00pm ET)

What should we do to achieve them?

A public symposium was held on November 12, 13, and 19, 2020. Click here for the Symposium website

With sponsorship from the National Science Foundation, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is exploring ambitions for the future of undergraduate STEM education, including how we can transform undergraduate STEM education to meet the needs of students, science, and society.

The symposium brought together innovators from a diverse range of colleges and universities together with policy makers, funders, and representatives from associations and industry. Participants were able to share their own ideas about the future of undergraduate STEM education. You can read some of the stories they wrote about 2040 in the attachments below. Two commissioned papers prepared in advance of the symposium are also available here.

Transformation in the U.S. Higher Education System: Implications for Racial Equity by Lindsey Malcom-Piqueux
Current Innovations in STEM Education and Equity Needs for the Future by Sanjay Sarma and Aikaterini Bagiati

The Impacts on STEM Undergraduate and Graduate Student Experiences of Higher Education’s response to COVID-19: Resilience and Innovation in Leadership and Decision-Making

12:00 PM - 3:00 PM (ET)

Past

Materials

About

Institutional leadership teams continue to face many challenges during the unprecedented COVID-19 global pandemic and the decisions they make alter undergraduate and graduate student learning experiences. Leaders were and are required to integrate new information, make predictions, and decide courses of action quickly and at times, with incomplete guidance and data. As leaders move forward with planning, they need to determine who they can and should consult for input as they consider their choices and analyze the potential short- and long-term impacts on students, faculty, staff, and their institutions. This workshop session will highlight voices from leaders of a breadth of institutional types as they discuss the process they undertook to make decisions for the spring 2020 and fall 2020 terms and their thoughts and planning for the spring 2021 term. Panelists will be asked to explain how undergraduate and graduate student voices and equity issues were considered in the decision-making process for their institutions and what data would be useful to have available or more directly considered. They will be asked to reflect on recent experiences and to consider how the higher education community might use this moment in time as an opportunity for sustainable innovation that could enhance STEM learning experiences and trajectories of undergraduate and graduate students now and the future. Discussions will also consider what research data and information can be compiled to inform the future planning of institutions and how leaders can ensure that attention is paid to addressing any challenges that disproportionately impact students due to their gender, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, nationality, learning challenges, disabilities, and/or caregiving responsibilities.

About

Colleges and universities are seeking and implementing strategies to assist their STEM student communities to succeed and prepare for transitions during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the initial transition to college, transitions from 2-year to 4-year institutions, transitions to graduate education, and transitions to the workforce. This session will explore examples of support infrastructures and strategies provided by colleges and universities before and during the pandemic and consider the importance of providing structure and flexibility to students. Many institutions have been exploring innovative ways to maintain continuity of services by moving them online during this crisis and have discovered new approaches that will remain important beyond the pandemic. Panel discussions will consider how institutions can maintain student engagement and involvement and discuss ideas for building community in departments, disciplines, courses, and co-curricular and extra-curricular activities as well as the importance of academic advising, tutoring, mentoring, counseling/mental health care, and ensuring that students are not lacking appropriate technology, food, housing, or other supports necessary for their general wellness. This session will explore how institutional goals and expectations for undergraduate and graduate student experiences might be permanently altered by the current challenges and changes for the students. It will also discuss how student engagement experiences can be comprehensive and more inclusive for all students regardless of their gender, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, nationality, learning challenges, disabilities, and/or caregiving responsibilities.

Materials

About

The changes to higher education and to society as a result of the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 impacted the ability of many undergraduate and graduate students to continue their research and learning. This workshop session will share examples, from both student and faculty perspectives, of innovative ways institutions, departments, and programs moved research—including course-based undergraduate research, laboratories, internships, practicums—online, attempted to mitigate interruptions to plans, and worked to consider (and address) the variety of issues that might prevent access by all students. The session will consider challenges to graduate students who had to alter research plans in ways that impacted their degree progression and to undergraduates enrolled in laboratory or practicum courses required for their degrees. The importance of mentoring and promising practices for supporting students as they attempt to continue their studies in STEM will be discussed, including how research experiences can be made more inclusive for all students regardless of their gender, race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, nationality, learning challenges, disabilities, and/or caregiving responsibilities.

About

The rapid transition to online learning that occurred in higher education in spring of 2020 presented many challenges. This workshop session will explore the impact of the institutional pivots themselves on undergraduate and graduate students and the continued reliance on online learning today. Using panel discussions and with input from the audience, this session will explore how institutions, faculty, and staff can assist students in continuing their studies in STEM; the extent to which student voices are considered in decision-making; and the differential effects on students from different races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. The session will provide an opportunity to share strategies and lessons learned from a breadth of institutional types and for a range of student populations (from community college to graduate students). Panelists and audience members will explore ways to provide high-quality online learning experiences and consider impacts on academic progression—such as ability to complete gateway courses, to transfer from 2-year to 4-year institutions, to apply to graduate and professional schools, and to advance in graduate degree programs and careers in STEM.
