Science Teaching Fellow (STF) has a combined expertise in the specific departmental discipline as well as knowledge in relevant science education methodology and research. As knowledge transfer agents, they have a unique ability in assisting faculty members to implement the evidence-based education improvement model. This approach has shown that STFs are highly successful at introducing faculty members to new approaches to teaching and assessment of learning, and implementing sustainable educational improvements. The SEI central staff will work closely with the STFs, providing guidance and advice based on cognitive science and science education research, and establishing a community of science education specialists. During their terms, the STFs will also be responsible for establishing and maintaining a web-based resource of all of the educational materials developed and tested, along with assessment results.
