Mobile Summer Institute on Scientific Teaching (MoSI), 2022

Spots are still available in the Summer Institute on Scientific Teaching to be held virtually (on Zoom) at the University of Windsor from August 15 – 19, 2022.  This is a great opportunity for current and future faculty to learn highly effective teaching techniques in STEM in a hands-on way.  The Summer Institute is open to faculty, postdocs, and graduate students in STEM and cognate disciplines.

SIs are intensive multi-day workshops held for university faculty in science that that address challenges in STEM education reform unique to colleges and universities. A cohort of approximately 30 participants will attend a week-long immersive program offered by Dr. Deb Pires, an expert from the National Institute for Scientific Teaching, USA and our own Dr. Isabelle Barrette-Ng.

The SI’s provide immersive training for faculty in active learning, effective assessment, backward design and inclusive practices. In addition to evidence-based teaching workshops, the Summer Institutes provide instruction in peer evaluation to drive long-term reflective teaching, as well as facilitated strategic planning to develop a shared vision between administrators and Summer Institute participants. Participants leave with a module that they have developed throughout the week — a “teachable tidbit”, and a certificate of completion.  Alumni of MoSI’s will have the opportunity to join a network of alumni of the Summer Institutes, and participate in their international conference.

Thanks to generous support from the Faculty of Science, we can offer free registration again this year.   Register at https://met.uwindsor.ca/pearls/events/1/#wkshp-11 before August 5th.
