CEILS Journal Club for STEM Education

The CEILS Journal Club is a collaborative space for faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers to discuss the latest STEM education research and its implications for our classrooms.

Every session features a carefully selected article chosen for its relevance to teaching in STEM. This is paired with a one page summary on the article to facilitate discussion.

Our goal is to make it easy for you to keep up with recent findings while exploring how this research can translate into your teaching. We encourage you to join and share your own perspectives as an instructor in this space. Each meeting stands alone and we welcome new participants!
