Educational Development
As a graduate student, I worked for four years as a McDougal Teaching Fellow, and coordinated the team in the 2019-20 academic year as we offered over 90 workshops to graduate teaching fellows and post-doctoral fellows at Yale.
In my current role, I study the efficacy of support resources on sense of belonging and retention of first-years in our Chemistry courses.
Workshops, Series, and Symposia Facilitated:
-
Spring Teaching Forum: “Productive Failure” (campus-wide, all day symposium, Dr. Josh Eyler as speaker)
-
Entering Mentoring (Series, for medical researchers)
-
Mentoring Undergraduates
-
Teaching with Technology
-
Public Speaking (for Geneticists, offered in a graduate seminar)
-
Mentoring in the Lab
-
Fundamentals of Teaching Chemistry (Series)
-
Fundamentals of Inclusive Teaching (Series)
-
Teaching Quantitative Reasoning (Series)
-
Gender in the Classroom (Series)
-
Social Media in the Classroom
-
Peer Learning
-
