Traveling Workshops

Attracting and supporting students from their initial enrollment through to graduation with a STEM degree takes a network of dedicated supports in and out of their classes. IINSPIRE wants to help your campus develop the expertise necessary to set up that kind of support programming.

Beginning in 2020, IINSPIRE is partnering with the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) to bring professional development workshops directly to Alliance campuses. These full-day workshops will consist of 1 or 2 sessions adapted from sessions this collaboration has presented previously at the Alliance annual meeting on several high-interest topics. Potential topics include:

• Just-in-Time Math in the Science Classroom (Example Program)
• Using Societal Issues to Attract and Engage STEM Students (Resource Page; Example Program)
• Using Community-built, Online Resources to Support Professional and Institutional Development
• Building Capacity on Your Campus (Example Program)
• Supporting the Whole Student (Resource Page; Example Program)
• Authentic Inquiry in Courses; Research-Like Experiences Embedded in Courses (Resource Page; Example Program)
• Building a Sense of Community for Student Success (Resource Page; Example Program)
• Bridge Programs to Support Student Success (Resource Page; Example Program)
