We look forward to your proposals in the context of the four themes listed below.
- Research, Development, and Assessment of
Undergraduate STEM Teaching and Learning: This theme will include presentations
and sessions that describe innovative approaches for enhancing
undergraduate STEM learning through implementation of engaged pedagogies
and high-impact practices including, but not limited to, integrative,
interdisciplinary, and discovery-based learning.
- Inclusive Excellence in STEM Higher
Education: This theme will
include presentations and sessions that highlight theory-driven models and
innovations directed toward the recruitment, retention, and persistence of
students from underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines.
- Recruiting, Supporting, and Rewarding
STEM Faculty:
This theme will focus on sessions and presentations that provide faculty
with knowledge, materials, and strategies for revising STEM curricula and
enhancing teaching and high-impact practices, as well as innovative
mechanisms for acquiring necessary resources (if applicable) for
implementing new strategies.
- Advancing Institutional Change Strategies
for STEM Reform:
This theme will include presentations and sessions related to campus-wide
institutional change efforts toward undergraduate STEM education
reform. While there is a pervasive need to provide opportunities for
students to participate in research, collaborative assignments, and other
innovative engagement practices, oftentimes the culture of STEM
departments is not conducive to the implementation of modern pedagogies
