Graduate Students and Postdocs,

PROMISE invites you to participate in an exciting professional development opportunity available to you this summer. The Inclusive STEM Teaching Project, a NSF grant-funded program, is launching a FREE Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) from June 15th - July 27th.

The six-week MOOC is designed to advance the awareness, self-efficacy, and ability of STEM faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and staff to cultivate inclusive learning environments for their students. Participants will engage in deep reflection and discussion around topics of equity and inclusion across a variety of institutional contexts. YOU CAN EARN CREDIT FOR FOUR CIRTL WORKSHOPS by participating!! Please contact CIRTL Director Dr. Jamie Gurganus (jmedof1@umbc.edu) if you are interested in using this toward CIRTL certification.

We estimate you will spend 3-5 hours per week engaged in the course and associated discussions, which includes review/completion of course materials. Visit www.inclusivestemteaching.org for more details about the course content and expectations.
