How can we use the science of learning to design more active and equitable classrooms

that support ALL students' success?

This program is funded by NSF Award #1928740, Leveraging a Faculty Community of Practice Model of Professional Learning to Enhance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in STEM Teaching, Learning, and Leadership, based at CSUDH.

3CSN is proud to once again partner with our UC and CSU colleagues through CSUDH's NSF IUSE grant to offer an amazing learning opportunity for STEM instructors, UC Berkeley’s Transforming STEM Teaching Faculty Learning Program (FLP).

FLP supports faculty in exploring active learning designs that lead to greater student engagement and improvements in students’ conversations and questions, while also helping faculty identify student misconceptions and put this knowledge into immediate action. The goal of the program is to improve student achievement in STEM undergraduate courses. FLP has the following objectives:

• Deepen faculty’s understanding of how people learn

• Change teaching behavior to support student learning

• Engage STEM faculty in habits of reflection

• Nurture a tradition of continued learning about teaching

• Build a faculty learning community

Hundreds of STEM faculty from California universities and community colleges have participated in the program to date.
