published Jul 29, 2022 8:02am

This new volume (available with full text and images in digital, open access, creative commons format) includes numerous images depicting modern STEM teaching in US colleges and universities, and explores, in photographs and text, challenges and approaches to positive change in STEM teaching.

In addition to the book, supplemental resources are available online: guides to making photographs in higher education settings, using photographs to improve teaching, and group reading close reading/observation exercises with excerpted photos and prompts. The latter can be used to spark discussion and reflection with groups of instructors and others, in STEM fields and broadly.
