Free eBook: The Science Education Initiative Handbook

The Handbook is for institutional leaders, faculty and education specialists who wish to create or implement a department-level change initiative for broadening faculty use of effective teaching practices. It introduces the Science Education Initiative (SEI), a transformative initiative model which aims at changing STEM teaching practices in university settings.

This Handbook shares the wisdom of practice in implementing a departmental-based SEI, with reference to the successful experience in University of Colorado Boulder and The University of British Columbia. It focuses on faculty learning and course transformation facilitated by discipline-based education specialists, as well as the roles of initiative leaders and departmental leaders. By promoting the use of evidence-based teaching practices in STEM, the SEI influences the teaching of hundreds of faculties and their students. The SEI also focuses on changes which support the creation of “expertise-based classroom”, to guide students from novice thinking towards expertise in the discipline. If you are thinking of initiating some changes in your teaching of STEM or other areas, this Handbook may give you some insights!
