UNDER CONSTRUCTION - PLEASE COME BACK TO LEARN MORE
**This is Competency 2 of the Certificate in College Teaching (CCT). You can learn more about the CCT competencies here.**
Core Competency 2 focuses on the creation of effective learning environments through the promotion of student success and engagement and through the creation of inclusive learning spaces. I have two experiences listed: The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project and the workshops from the Certificate in College Teaching Institute held in May 2024.
Workshop: The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project
Completed: August 19, 2021
Description: ...
Course Description: "Throughout this seven-week online course, we will ask you to engage in deep reflection and discussions around topics of equity and inclusion in learning environments across a variety of institutional contexts. This course is designed to improve our participants’ awareness, self-efficacy, and ability as doctoral students, postdocs, and faculty to create inclusive STEM learning environments for their students. To center the identity of faculty and students and facilitate deep reflection, we employ key features including: embodied case studies, affinity spaces, and an inclusivity framework portfolio. These activities are collectively designed to nurture a transformative mindset and help our participants reflect deeply on key identity-related aspects of each module as they go through the course, and to help them apply these aspects in tangible ways to their own teaching and learning contexts."
Artifacts and Rationale:
Syllabus
This course was a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), titled INCLU1x: The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project. This was an edX course offered by BUx (Boston University).
Artifact: Certificate of Completion
Rationale: In order to receive a Certificate of Completion, participants watched weekly videos and completed readings/activities each week, including a weekly discussion board focused on reflections from the week. The Certificate of Completion has indicated that the recipient was an active participant in the course. Throughout the seven week course, I had the opportunity to complete five modules that have since influenced my journey as an educator. These modules were titled "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education", "Instructor Identity", "Student Identity", "Course Design", and "Classroom Climate."
Reflection:
What skills and techniques did I learn that will help me become a better educator?
...
What things am I still uncertain about regarding this topic that I need to investigate further in the future?
...
How can I apply materials from this session to my own class to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and learning?
