Achievement

The M-EID program co-sponsored the workshop "Pathways to Scientific Teaching" led by Diane Ebert-May, Professor of Plant Biology at Michigan State University and a pioneer in the area of scientific teaching. The scientific teaching approach encourages faculty to teach science in a way that represents the nature of science and is grounded in the science of teaching, in other words, based on evidence about how people learn. Dr. Ebert-May led a 3-day workshop this winter. The workshops were open to M-EID trainees as well as graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, staff, and faculty from other STEM disciplines. Trainees will have the opportunity to apply skills acquired from the workshop to a teaching experience required as part of the M-EID experience.
