Comments from previous STEMES participants

"I will tell my colleagues what I learned about improving our teaching through critical examination (using our research skills), about creating a course environment where all people are equally valued, about making the students central to the course (which includes making them responsible for their own learning), and about various technologies and tools available for managing and conducting the course." STEMES Participants
"I've learned how to look at classroom instruction in a new light. I have a greater appreciation of placing attention on student learning and using active participation. I am also more aware of diversity issues and how student attitudes matter, in addition to the instructor's attitudes." STEMES Participants
"I learned strategies of enhancing my teaching skills as a Ph.D student, especially things that I overlook when tutoring students that I never knew impacted their ability to learn. I learned how faculty behavior in class could immensely affect the ability of minority groups in a learning community. I wish I had had this opportunity before completing my Comprehensive examination." STEMES Participants
