Biology Teaching and Learning Seminar: Teaching Professional Development - Does it Stick?

Featured Speaker: Diane Ebert-May, University Distinguished Professor Plant Biology, Michigan State University

The goal of professional development programs for teaching is that participants continue to practice what they learn in the long term. However, we do not know the degree to which the outcomes of these programs were achieved and ultimately persist. We tracked postdoctoral participants from the Faculty Institutes for Reformed Science Teaching (FIRST) IV program into their current positions as early-career faculty. The results of the study provide compelling evidence for the success of the FIRST IV program and the long-term persistence of professional development outcomes.
