[Professorsofteaching] Do you want more data about how you teach?

[Annie Stanfield Ditta]

Dear Professor of Teaching Colleagues,

I hope this email finds you well! I am emailing on behalf of myself,
Richard Edwards (Executive Director of XCITE), and Lauren Levitt (a
postdoctoral scholar in XCITE, cc'd). We are working on a grant to
understand how instructors use data about their own teaching practices to
reflect on and iterate upon their practices.

We are looking for instructors like you who will solo-teach an *undergraduate
STEM* course next quarter with *at least 60 students* and are interested in
learning more about how they teach and receiving a teaching consultation.
To participate, you must *not* be familiar with the following classroom
observation protocols: CDOP, COPUS, PAITE or DART. As part of the research,
we will:

·       Meet with you to discuss your teaching goals and identify areas for
feedback. There is also an accompanying 20 minute survey.

·       Observe and videotape a weeks’ worth of your classes.

·       Provide a 1 hour teaching consultation where you will receive data
about your teaching and you will have the opportunity to think about and
discuss your teaching. There is also an accompanying 20 minute survey.

·       Observe another weeks’ worth of your classes.

We will follow-up in 1-2 years to provide a final survey and meet with you
once again to discuss your ideas about teaching. In return, you will get *a
teaching consultation, data about your teaching *that you can use as part
of your teaching portfolio, and *a $200 Barnes & Noble gift card*.

All your responses and recordings will be kept confidential. Any data or
recordings will not be shared with the faculty members of the research
team, so none of your colleagues will know how you teach. Any data shared
with faculty members of the research team will be de-identified. This study
has been IRB approved (IRB #805998 from UCSD, PI Dr. Melinda Owens). More
information about the study can be found in the consent form, which is
attached.

*If you have any questions about the research, and/or you are interested in
participating, please reach out to Lauren Levitt (laurenl at ucr.edu
<laurenl at ucr.edu>).* We look forward to hearing from you!


Cheers,
Annie
