Learning Across the CIRTL Network
Please join us as we connect virtually with other campuses in the CIRTL Network to share ideas about teaching and learning in the STEM disciplines. We will be using Elluminate Software and Adobe Connect. CU Boulder students will join us in 200 ATLAS and be able to communicate with students and presenters from other campuses. This is your chance to join the cutting edge of teaching with technology. All workshops count toward GTP Certificates. OK to arrive early for technology set up. Please contact Madhulika Sagaram , msagaram@vprmail.tamu.edu to set up an elluminate account.

Graduate Teacher Program
Fall 2009
Tuesdays, 2:00 – 3:00 PM
October
20 The
Science of Broadening Participation
200 ATLAS Patricia Rankin, Associate Vice Chancellor for Faculty
Diversity and Development and Professor of Physics at the University of
Colorado at Boulder
Ever wonder why an
intervention designed to get more women into science may not work as planned?
Why the percentage of women who are physicists in Italy is higher than the
percentage in Denmark? We are starting to realize the importance of
understanding interventions and assessing their effectiveness in context so
that we can develop more effective strategies to increase inclusion in the STEM
fields. This CIRTL-cast is intended to introduce some key ideas and stimulate
discussion on these topics!
November 3 Writing a Socratic Portfolio in the
STEM Disciplines
E103 Norlin Laura L. B. Border, Director,
Graduate Teacher Program, CU Boulder
A Socratic Portfolio process guides graduate students as they
move through their graduate programs. This session provides a useful framework
to follow as you develop your philosophy of teaching and learning.
November 17 What Does Bloom’s Taxonomy Have to do
with the STEM Disciplines?
E103 Norlin PJ Bennett, Interim Assistant Director,
Graduate Teacher Program
Dr. Bennett has spent years applying Bloom’s
Taxonomy to MCD Biology and has interviewed teachers from all disciplines to
understand how Bloom’s might apply to testing in their disciplines. He shares
his understanding of Bloom and demonstrates how to ask effective test questions
using the Taxonomy.
December 1 Reflective Course Development Using
CIRTL Materials
E103 Norlin Lillian Tong, PhD,
Faculty Associate, Center for Biology Education, UW-Madison
Dr. Tong describes the rationale,
components, outcomes, and the opportunities for developing a STEM course that
integrates the CIRTL pillars. Her examples will be based on experiences on such
course development at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
December 8 How the Biological Sciences Initiative Is Approaching Teaching &
E103 Norlin Learning
Lynn Wolfe, Undergraduate Research Advisor, Biological Sciences
Initiative
Dr
Wolfe will discuss BSI's undergraduate research and Science Squad programs and
how meaningful research experiences
can enhance undergraduate science curricula.
