CU-Boulder TIGER/CIRTL • TIGER Workshop Series • Learning Goals: • Continue Informing CU-Boulder audience of our participation in the national CIRTL Network. • Inform CU-Boulder audience about the CIRTL Café. • Disseminate CIRTL Pillars to a broad audience at CU-Boulder. • Showcase CU-Boulder STEM faculty in teaching and learning workshops. • Evaluation Strategies and Timelines (Fall 2008–Spring 2011): • Workshop feedback forms: evaluate presenter/workshop/personal learning application • Numbers of participants • Numbers of STEM departments represented by participants • Evaluation Issues Arisen, Anticipated? • None • The collection of data gives us a good picture of our broad campus impact.
CU-Boulder TIGER/CIRTL • Analysis of Existing STEM Pedagogy Courses • Learning Goals: • Create a campus-wide snapshot of existing STEM pedagogy courses. • Determine the content of existing STEM pedagogy courses. • Create a model STEM pedagogy course template which integrates the CIRTL pillars that can be used to promote the creation of new STEM pedagogy courses. • Evaluation Strategies and Timelines: • Determine (non)existence/number of courses: Fall 2008. • Collect syllabi from existing courses: Fall 2008. • Compare and contrast topics covered in existing courses: Spring 2009. • Create model syllabus that integrates CIRTL pillars: Summer 2009 • Evaluation Issues Arisen, Anticipated? • None • The analysis of departmental courses gives us a bird’s eye view of the depth/breadth/lack of STEM departments’ focus on teaching in the discipline. • The creation of a model course syllabus will allow us to communicate more effectively with those STEM departments that lack a focus on teaching and learning issues.
CU-Boulder TIGER/CIRTL • Award Pedagogy Course Development Grants to STEM Departments • Learning Goals: • To learn how to work with departments to assist in developing pedagogy courses. • To create a pedagogy course that truly integrates the CIRTL pillars. • To be able to create, implement, and study the new course. • To integrate our CU-Boulder faculty in the DBER group with the CIRTL project as providers of feedback/consultation. • To be able to reiterate and share the newly developed course with the CIRTL Network. • Evaluation Strategies and Timelines: • Identify department and staff: Fall 2008 • Introduce participants to CIRTL Pillars, CIRTL Café and to the DBER group: Spring 2009. • Create, implement, and study course: Summer 2009-Spring 2010. • Evaluation Issues Arisen, Anticipated? • Must create addendum to the IRB to cover the course project research. • Must collaborate with department to meet needs and expectations.
