We hope you join us on March 18th at 3 PM EASTERN TIME (12 PM PACIFIC TIME).
Have you found that your students need more support to succeed in their college biology courses? Are you curious about ways to incorporate research-backed teaching and learning strategies in your course?
Join us as we dive into the research behind evidence-based teaching practices that improve learning outcomes and support student equity. You will collaborate with like-minded colleagues across institutions while building a course module in the Codon Learning platform.
Workshop goals:
Identify ways that transparent and measurable learning objectives can be used effectively by your students.
Connect different parts of the Codon Learning platform with the evidence-based practices they support, such as high-structure course design and metacognition.
Design a high-structure module in Codon Learning that you can share with students and colleagues.
This virtual event is free to attend. You’re welcome to join as an individual or as a team of instructors. Register today to secure your spot:
Facilitators:
Dr. Jenny Knight (University of Colorado - Boulder) has been teaching biology courses at all levels in the Department of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder for over 20 years. Her work as a Biology Education Researcher has included developing concept assessments to diagnose student misunderstandings and measure learning gains, developing and facilitating workshops on scientific teaching (with NIST), and studying how students learn by engage in complex problem solving, reasoning, and self-regulation. She was a founding member of the Society for the Advancement of Biology Education Research (SABER) and its president (2019-2020).
Dr. Ashley Rowland (Codon Learning) earned a PhD in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder and studied as a postdoc at the University of California Berkeley. In 2017, she began conducting biology education research with Lisa Corwin at the University of Colorado Boulder to better understand factors affecting students’ participation in STEM. As a first-generation college student from a low-income household, she is passionate about making education more inclusive and equitable. She came to Codon Learning to create courseware that will catalyze the widespread adoption of the evidence-based teaching practices known to benefit learners of all backgrounds.
