RIOS grant
2190 Faculty Resource Guide and Grant planning ur grant from RIOS funds the further development of the faculty reource guide and a few chapters for the book. Our deadline for draft chapters and draft Resource Guide is May 20. Please let us know if you have questions or comments. We propose to put some drafts for comment this week. 1. First draft of the Faculty Resources Guide for Teaching Controversial Issues in STEM As part of the open education resource on Social Justice, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we are creating a resource guide for faculty that summarizes the current literature on how to prepare to teach controversial DEI and Social Justice issues. The group (Kristen Butela, Jen Bunz, Shuchismita Dutta, Melissa Haswell, Sharon Homer Drummond, Pat Marsteller, Sondra LoRe, Melanie Lanahan, Heather Rissler) has been meeting biweekly in Fall 2023 to gather materials and begin the process. The faculty resource guide assembled by this group will be available as an OER and will contain materials that faculty need to think about as they consider SJEDI for classes, such as: Glossary of terms that relate to SJEDI Self-work Centering your identity: Historical understanding of system issues - racism, patriarchal and white-centered education system (decolonization); Identifying student needs and aspirations Syllabi statements Setting learning outcomes for SJEDI Inclusive teaching strategies Class rules and compacts for discussion Tools for teaching difficult and potentially controversial topics Case studies and examples of how we or others have used the resources for self reflection, identifying student needs and goals, and examples from syllabi. Each section will be short, with stories about how to use the resources described.Hopeto hear from you all. Peace Pat 0 Discussions 0 Posts
