Andrea Follmer Greenhoot
University of Kansas Main Campus
Andrea Follmer Greenhoot (“Dea”) is Professor of Psychology, Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence and Gautt Teaching Scholar at the University of Kansas. Her research in psychology is on cognitive development with a special focus on memory development. In addition to her memory research, she studies the applications of cognitive and developmental science to questions about teaching and learning in postsecondary education. Supported by grants from the Spencer Foundation, the Teagle Foundation, and the National Science Foundation (NSF), her work has examined strategies for enhancing learning and skill development in large courses, for assessing learning, and for using the evidence to improve education. She also led the development, evaluation, and scaling-up of KU’s first year seminar program. Dea is a member of the Hub of the Bay View Alliance (BVA), a consortium of North American research universities that are studying strategies to promote and support widespread faculty adoption of evidence-based teaching practices. She is principle investigator of the TRESTLE (Transforming Education, Stimulating Teaching and Learning Excellence) project, a collaboration among BVA partners to implement and evaluate a model of improving undergraduate STEM education through course transformation programs. Supported by a grant from the NSF, the TRESTLE network is looking at department-embedded expertise and community building as mechanisms for promoting broader, sustained adoption of effective teaching practices, and improved student learning, in STEM courses.
