| Abstract: |
The Professional Development Program (PDP) is at the heart of the education
programs of the Institute for Scientist & Engineer Educators. The PDP was originally developed by
the Center for Adaptive Optics, and since has been instrumental in developing and advancing a
growing community of scientist- and engineer-educators. Participants come to the PDP early in
their careers—most as graduate students—and they emerge as leaders who integrate research
and education in their professional practice. The PDP engages participants in the innovative
teaching and learning strategies of inquiry. Participants put new knowledge into action by
designing inquiry activities and teaching their activities in undergraduate science and engineering
laboratory settings. In addition to inquiry, members of the PDP community value and intentionally
draw from diversity and equity studies and strategies, assessment strategies, education research,
knowledge about effective education practices, and interdisciplinary dialogue. This paper
describes the PDP, including goals, rationale, format, workshop sessions, outcomes from ten years, and future directions. |
