The STEP Faculty & Student Partnerships Program is strategically blending the often-isolated approaches of faculty development and student success to create faculty-student partnerships that train both faculty and Learning Assistants (LAs) to create classroom communities that will enhance student learning and faculty satisfaction. This strategic plan to blend evidence-based instructional techniques with peer instruction initiatives, like Learning Assistants, will ensure consistency in the evidence-based approach for faculty and students, enhance training for faculty and LAs, ensure regulatory compliance (i.e., FERPA), provide access to Canvas and ultimately create a central hub for faculty and students to partner. The goals of this project are to emphasize faculty and student partnerships while training and supporting STEM faculty in the use of EBIPs from course conception and development through classroom implementation.
STEP Partnership Power Hours are open-format conversation designed by faculty, for faculty. Led by STEP Program Scholars, each meeting will focus on an actionable tip to enhance the classroom experience for both instructors and students. While STEP Program Scholars tend to be in STEM disciplines, these strategies can apply to any area and are open to all faculty.
