Dear QC Faculty who teach STEM related classes, The (STEM)2 Network is hosting a Mobile Summer Institute on Scientific Teaching (MoSI) Monday through Thursday, January 13 - 16, 2025 at Hofstra University. All STEM faculty (including psychology, nursing, and health sciences) are welcome to participate in this engaging professional development opportunity. Several QC faculty attended last year and found it valuable. If you have an questions specific to their experience, please reach out to Nathalia Holtzman, the QC (STEM)2 Network contact at nholtzman@qc.cuny.edu<mailto:nholtzman@qc.cuny.edu>. MoSIs address teaching and learning challenges unique to colleges and universities. During the MoSI, participants take part in interactive workshops on evidence-based teaching strategies and project-based group work to create effective teaching modules for their classrooms. Participants leave the MoSI with peer-reviewed teaching materials and the skills to: * implement evidence-based teaching in their classrooms, * evaluate themselves and their peers, and * continue developing as reflective practitioners. Attendance during the entire MoSI is required given that each participant works as part of a team. The schedule is Monday from 12:30pm - 4pm and Tuesday to Thursday from 8:30am - 4pm. Three action items for you: 1.
