Join us for 2024 Addressing Challenges in Teaching!

This summer, the National Institute on Scientific Teaching will host Addressing Challenges in Teaching (ACT), the fourth annual online small group learning event formerly known as Solve My Problem (SMP). We invite you to join us as we form new communities to address common challenges in undergraduate education such as academic support for students, building meaningful group work, responding to the rise of AI, and exploring novel grading strategies. Educators at all stages of their academic career are welcome to join us as we meet new colleagues while we explore, reflect upon, learn, and deepen our teaching practices.

The ACT program involves the establishment of small groups formed around themes chosen by participants during registration. The program will begin with an opening session on July 1st. Groups will then work together to schedule 5 to 6 meetings over the following 3 weeks to discuss the teaching challenge, develop strategies to address this challenge, and produce materials that will be useful to their own teaching practice. These products will be shared at the closing session on July 25th. An experienced coordinator will help guide each group as they work to find a deeper understanding of how to meet their challenge using the three pillars of the Scientific Teaching Framework (Active Learning, Inclusivity, Assessment). Participants will also reconnect as a community at a January 2025 meeting to reflect on their implementation and future plans.

Come join a flexible, collaborative program to Address Challenges in Teaching this summer.

Registration Deadline: June 14, 2024
