Assessing The Impact Of Tutorial Services, Cindy Henning, Kimberly Shaw, Tim Howard

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

This is a preliminary report assessing the impact of tutorial services on student performance. We discuss a statistical approach, and why regression models do not appear suitable for the analysis.

Stem Ii Initiative-Updates From Participating Institutions (Part 2), Pamela Gore, Dabney Dixon, Charles Kutal, Farooq Khan, Myrna Gantner

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

STEM II Initiative – Updates from Participating Institutions (Part 2) is made up of a series of “sampler sessions” so that interested individuals can get an overview but not comprehensive coverage. Dr. Pamela Gore will begin this session by discussing the STEM II Initiative at Georgia Perimeter College. Second, Dr. Dabney Dixon will talk about the STEM II Initiative at Georgia State University. Third, Dr. Charles Kutal will provide information concerning the STEM II Initiative at the University of Georgia. Fourth, Dr. Farooq Khan and Dr. Myrna Gantner will discuss what is happening with the STEM II Initiative at the …


Stem Enhancement Programs: The National Context, Nathan Moon, Paul Baker, Braeden Benson Mar 2012

Stem Enhancement Programs: The National Context, Nathan Moon, Paul Baker, Braeden Benson

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

We present findings from a review of the scholarly literature and Web survey that were undertaken to develop a catalogue of STEM enhancement programs. Our research revealed that 42 states have developed such programs, 30 of which focus specifically on P-16 STEM education. This session will discuss our findings and report on other programs comparable to the USG STEM Initiative.

Stem Ii Initiative-Updates From Participating Institutions (Part 1), Nathan Moon, Tim Howard, Kim Shaw, Rosalie Richards, Judy Awong-Taylor

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

STEM II Initiative – Updates from Participating Institutions (Part 1) is made up of a series of “sampler sessions” so that interested individuals can get an overview but not comprehensive coverage. Dr. Nathan Moon will introduce this session by telling a few important lessons gleaned from the STEM I evaluations. Second, Dr. Tim Howard will talk about the STEM II Initiative at Columbus State. Third, Dr. Judy Awong-Taylor will provide information concerning the STEM II Initiative at Georgia Gwinnett College. Fourth, Dr. Rosalie Richards will discuss what is happening with the STEM II Initiative at Georgia College & State University.


Stem Ii Initiative At Georgia College, Rosalie A. Richards Mar 2012

Stem Ii Initiative At Georgia College, Rosalie A. Richards

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

At Georgia College & State University, implementation of the USG STEM Initiative is flourishing and multifaceted. Our initiative has not only made a positive impact on student performance and retention but also has helped create an environment that fosters local and institutional recognition of STEM-related work. This positive environment increases faculty satisfaction and productivity, and this overall is good for retention of faculty. Supported by USG Presidential STEM Initiative

Preparing And Fostering Learner-Centered Faculty, Lydia Soleil, Donna Llewellyn Mar 2012

Preparing And Fostering Learner-Centered Faculty, Lydia Soleil, Donna Llewellyn

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

This session will describe two programs Georgia Tech has in place to help nurture STEM education leaders, one for graduate students and one for faculty. Both programs use the learner-centered teaching paradigm, backwards design as a framework, and peer learning communities. Alumni of the two programs will share their experience and benefits in a panel format. Facilitators invite analysis of program ideas for possible transfer to other contexts.


The Gpc & Amc Mesa Program, Abe Ojo, Kouok Law Mar 2012

The Gpc & Amc Mesa Program, Abe Ojo, Kouok Law

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) and Atlanta Metropolitan College (AMC) have established the Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievement (MESA) Program since Fall-2007 academic year. The program was initially jointly funded by the MESA California Consortium and after the first year operation, completely funded by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. The MESA model was established to assist in increasing the retention of educationally disadvantaged students (minorities, female, low-income, first generation college students) majoring in STEM areas and helping them transfer to four-year institutions in Georgia and across the nation. This presentation describes the components of the MESA …


Building Transformative Leaders In Stem Education, Julia Metzker, Karynne Kleine, Laurie Huffman Mar 2012

Building Transformative Leaders In Stem Education, Julia Metzker, Karynne Kleine, Laurie Huffman

Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)

Representatives from Georgia College will use their experiences as members of the Innovative Course-building Group, a structured collaboration across departments and disciplines, to stimulate a discussion with attendees about building strong faculty leaders capable of making the important structural changes needed to address curriculum issues in the STEM fields. Our goal is that you will leave this roundtable with an action plan for engaging STEM faculty at your institution.
