Inclusive teaching micro-credential<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to provide ongoing education around DEI subjects, DEI officer Hallie Dowling-Huppert and Instructor Dr. Darcy Gordon, Instructor of Online and Blended Learning in Biology, in collaboration with department leadership have created and run micro-credential courses on a variety of topics. To meet the needs of the Biology Department in training current and future faculty in inclusive and equitable pedagogy, Dr. Gordon and Hallie Dowling-Huppert (departmental DEIO), collaborated on adapting the online course into a blended learning experience. In this modality, participants engage in both in-person group activities as well as individual written reflections and assessments online. This blended workshop series gathers graduate student, postdoc, and faculty participants together over several hours (typically 2 two-hour sessions), where they explore how identity influences educational experiences, practice reflective teaching, critically assess different teaching practices, and develop an action plan to implement in their own teaching contexts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After completion of the workshop series and online assignments, participants can earn a Micro-Credential in Inclusive Teaching,. Since this program launched in the fall of 2022, 46\/56 participants have certified.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in attending an inclusive teaching workshop, please keep an eye on this space.\u00a0 They typically occur twice a year, once in the summer and once during IAP.\u00a0 Contact <\/span>halliedh@mit.edu<\/span> for more information<\/span><\/p>\n

Mentoring micro-credential<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Launching in August 2024 and October 2024 respectively, the DEI officer is introducing a new micro credential\u00a0 focused on mentoring for graduate students on mentoring up and mentoring other students\u00a0 and a separate workshop for faculty on mentoring. \u00a0 These workshops will be in line with the department\u2019s mentoring competencies and work to support community members in creating more inclusive and supportive environments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
