    To launch a professional development experience for graduate teaching assistants that addresses the importance of inclusive teaching practices and equitable campus policy and practice

    • Program Higher Education
    • Investigator Samantha Levine

    This grant supports professional development opportunities for graduate teaching assistants in the biology departments at the University of New Mexico and University of Colorado Denver, with a focus on inclusive teaching practices and equitable campus policy and practice. Under the leadership of Samantha Levine, this pilot program will build on learnings from the Student Experience Project, a national collaborative that engaged over 400 college STEM instructors to implement new equity-focused teaching practices in the classroom and measure subsequent changes in student experience and academic outcomes. Specifically, funds will allow Levine’s team to design and pilot training for 20-25 graduate teaching assistants per campus and design mechanisms that provide participants with course credit and/or payment for their participation. The insights gained from this pilot will be disseminated and used to inform similar programs at other higher education institutions.
