HHMI-UC Science Faculty Learning Community

Body: 

The UC HHMI Science Education Program directors propose to initiate a UC Faculty Learning Community in Biology and related Sciences composed of chapters from our respective campuses to disseminate best practices in science teaching and assessment and to provide a venue for launching new projects and programs.
The specific aims of this project are:

  • Designate an implementation team of respected faculty and staff from each campus.
  • Host annual meetings with representatives from the major programs engaged in the transformation of STEM teaching in the UC system to share information on facilitating change in teaching, learning objectives for similar courses, effective strategies for involving students in research, and other topics.
  • Establish an intercampus exchange program for individuals who wish to travel to or among the UC campuses supported by the HHMI Research Universities program
