Postdoc at at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU)

https://cu.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=07865&lang=en

The mission of the Center for STEM Learning (CSL) is to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at the University of Colorado Boulder, and to serve as a state, national, and international resource for such efforts. Our vision for achieving this mission is:

   To maintain an infrastructure of institutional support in order to transform STEM education, support education research within and across STEM fields and departments, and promote K20 faculty recruitment, preparation, and professional development.

   To facilitate change in STEM education by integrating an interdisciplinary community of scholars, promoting, sustaining, and evaluating existing reform efforts, sponsoring new programs, advocating for diversity and access, influencing relevant policy, fundraising, and communicating with the public.

We seek to fill a Research Associate (“post-doctoral” level) position to work on an institution-wide educational transformation that focuses on enhancing the processes and tools used by departments in faculty-level evaluation of teaching. This work is part of an overall effort that seeks to improve undergraduate education at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU), through collective learning and cultural change at the departmental and institutional levels.

This project takes a holistic approach to change, focused on shifting institutional structures and culture around teaching through the development and implementation of a teaching quality framework. In this effort, we build on decades of research in scholarly teaching and evaluation of scholarly approaches to teaching.  We seek to establish a framework for supporting and assessing teaching quality for all instructors across all departments on campus that is grounded in the scholarship of higher education, including the work of Bernstein and colleagues (2002, 2010) and Glassick and colleagues (1997). This framework defines teaching as a scholarly activity like research. It assesses teaching in terms of six core components of scholarly activity—clear goals, adequate preparation, appropriate methods, significant results, effective presentation, and reflective critique—through the use of three “voices” —those of a faculty member, his or her students, and his or her peers. The framework also supports improved teaching, by providing mechanisms for assessment to help faculty to improve in their practices. These framework categories are held constant across all departments; however, the interpretation of these categories and their relative weights would be defined at a department-by-department level, thus specifying in a clear way what is meant by “multiple measures” of teaching.

We seek a team member to implement a faculty and departmental-led effort that brings together key faculty leaders and departments by providing them with a structure to help them co-create, test, and evaluate the framework. We are at the stage of working with eight pilot departments choosing to engage and become leaders in this process. Thus, this strategy empowers the community to voluntarily engage in the exploration of new ways of assessing teaching and to adopt the framework because they see its value.
