This $334,121 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to reform college-level chemistry teaching through an instructional coaching program developed by and for graduate student instructors at the University of Michigan and The Ohio State University. The key products and services to be delivered include:
-
Robust pedagogical training models at both universities to support graduate student instructors in developing reflective teaching practices and analyzing their own and their peers' pedagogy.
-
The generation and dissemination of a video library that curates authentic chemistry teaching-learning moments to advance understanding of how teaching and learning can be enhanced within the classroom.
-
Improvements in undergraduate learning outcomes and chemistry experiences through iterative equity-based interventions that support pedagogical noticing and inclusive teaching practices.
The project will study how this coaching-based approach can influence graduate student instructors' professional growth and positively impact undergraduate students' sense of belonging, chemistry identity, and course performance.
