National Policy Document to Frame Equitable and Effective Undergraduate STEM Education Dr. Sean Yee University of South Carolina Oktoberfest 2024
The committee conducted a two phase study. 1. Produce a discussion draft that outlines a framework for equitable and effective teaching. 2. Revise the framework, call out areas in need of further research, and provide guidance and recommendations for institutions, educators, and disciplines. Finishing Phase 2, Final Report due out in December K-12 (July, 2024) Undergraduate (December, 2024)
Charge of Study Present a framework for equitable and effective teaching that includes attention to: Approaches to and guidelines for evidence-based, inclusive teaching; Equitable and effective teaching practices for different modes of teaching 1. (e.g., in-person, online, blended and hybrid teaching), and different educational contexts (e.g., 2-year colleges, hybrid program, research institutions); The roles that technology does, or can in the future, play in supporting equitable and effective teaching. 1. Discuss the experiences and training opportunities graduate students and postdoctoral students will need in order to be prepared to employ equitable and effective instruction as future faculty members. 2. Examine the institutional infrastructure, policies, and practices needed to encourage and support evidence-based teaching, such as opportunities for professional development, faculty evaluation policies and practices, and reward and advancement systems. 4. Provide actionable recommendations for institutions, disciplinary societies, funders, and policy makers on steps that could support implementation of the framework.
