The STEM Teaching News is a weekly newsletter published during the academic year. It contains information about the Science Teaching Journal Club's meetings, including brief summaries of the group's conversations, an Instructor Spotlight feature highlighting the teaching practices of faculty from the STEM disciplines, and a Did You Know? section containing information useful for STEM faculty and GE's. There are also sections that highlight teaching-related professional development opportunities and other campus events that may be of interest to the STEM community.
This page is an archive of the STEM Teaching Newsletters beginning in Fall 2025.
