Direct linkCianfrani, Christina; Hews, Sarah; DeJong, Christene – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
We designed the Integrated Sciences First-Year Program (ISFP) to introduce students to the nature and process of science early in their academic career, help them develop skills and competencies, and create an intellectual community of learners to foster belonging within science. Using their inherent curiosity, we designed active learning…

Mutambuki, Jacinta; Frey, Regina; Leonard, Denise – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
Many institutions are preparing graduate students and postdoctorals (future faculty) for effective teaching in undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Interestingly, little is known about beneficial features of teaching-development (TD) programs for future faculty after they transition into professoriate roles, and…
