Biology Teaching Assistant Project (BioTAP 2.0): A Network to Build a Capacity for Collaborative 

Research on Biology Graduate Teaching Assistant Teaching Professional Development (GTA TPD) 

First Round: Friday, June 23, 2017 at 10:50 AM  

Second Round: Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 10:55 AM 

 

 



Speakers: Gili Marbach-Ad, University of Maryland 

Additional Authors: Elisabeth Schussler, University of Tennessee, Knoxville; Grant E. Gardner, Middle 

Tennessee State University; Kristen Miller, University of Georgia; and Judith S. Ridgway, The Ohio State 

University 

Abstract: BioTAP 2.0 is a NSF funded Research Coordination Network grant with the goal to build 

capacity for collaborative research on biology graduate teaching assistant teaching professional 

development (GTA TPD). By helping practitioners assess their own programs, and work with others to 

compare assessments across institutions, the network will build the empirical data necessary to make 

data-driven decisions about programmatic practices. The year-long BioTAP 2.0 Scholars program leads 

selected cohorts of interested stakeholders through the process of designing and engaging in a scholarly 

research project on some aspect of a biology GTA TPD. In the round table session, we will discuss the 

goals and accomplishments of BioTAP 2.0 to date, including data from a national survey on GTA TPD 

efforts, and information about the Research Development Sessions and Virtual Learning Communities, 

which are components of the BioTAP 2.0 Scholars Program. We will also share experiences from the first 

RDS meeting. 

 

Creating the Partnering Research and Impact Measurement for Economic Development (PRIMED) 

Database

 

First Round: Friday, June 23, 2017 at 10:50 AM  

Second Round: Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 10:55 AM 

 

 



Speakers: Julee Farley and Susan Magliaro, Virginia Tech 

Additional Authors: Liesl Baum, Virginia Tech 

Abstract: At the Center for Research in SEAD Education (CRSE), we have established partnerships with a 

consortium of offices who are interested in the pre-college initiatives at Virginia Tech to provide 

expertise in broader impacts, with a specific focus on PK12 and STEM/SEAD-related work. To support 

that mission, the CRSE is creating the Partnering Research and Impact Measurement for Economic 

Development (PRIMED) database. This database creates a reporting structure around the broader 

impacts of outreach activities occurring at Virginia Tech to create a deliberate broader impacts identity 

at the University. The presentation will include information that speaks to the importance of 

establishing interconnection across university offices that traditionally operate as silos as well as 

describing the process of creating a large database with multiple stakeholders and utilizing existing 

databases. The table discussion will include time for questions and dialogue around the successes and 

struggles of this process.

University-Community Partnerships for Experiential Learning to Increase STEM Retention and Success 

First Round: Friday, June 23, 2017 at 10:50 AM  

Second Round: Friday, June 23, 2017 at 3:50 PM 

 

 



Speakers: Sharon Locke and Jessica Krim, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 

Additional Authors:  

Abstract: Experiential learning in the community offers many benefits to undergraduate students

including opportunities to apply classroom learning in relevant contexts, develop productive work habits 

and skills, participate in professional networking, and serve communities in need. This roundtable is a 

forum to discuss best practices for community-based STEM learning that supports undergraduate 

retention and success. Discussants are encouraged to share examples of experiential learning programs 

that effectively increase self-efficacy, scientific identity, and/or professional belonging; collaboration 

practices that foster strong partnerships with community organizations; and surprising/unanticipated 

program benefits for students, universities, and the community. 



 

Communities of practice for engaging faculty in STEM course reform 

Only Round: Friday, June 23, 2017 at 11:40 AM 

Speakers: Laura Hahn, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 

Additional Authors: Geoffrey Herman, Jose Mestre, Matthew West, and Jonathan Tomkin, University of 

Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 



Abstract: At large research-intensive universities, teaching STEM at scale has posed instructional 

challenges to faculty who are unaccustomed to addressing pedagogy in a collective, sustainable manner. 

We will discuss ways to implement communities of practice, which can help integrate the qualities of a 

strong, collaborative research culture into the context of teaching. 



 

Action Research Fellowships: Communities of Practice in support of non-tenure track faculty 

First Round: Friday, June 23, 2017 at 11:40 AM 

Second Round: Friday, June 23, 2017 at 3:50 PM 

 

 



Speakers: Julie Risien, Oregon State University 

Additional Authors:  

Abstract: Established through an NSF WIDER Grant, the ESTEME@OSU Action Research Fellows program 

supports instructors already using evidence-based practices in lower division science, mathematics or 

engineering courses to take the next step in educational innovation through action research; that is, 

asking and answering questions about practice and collecting evidence in their own classroom to inform 

practice. Fellows are supported in three ways: 1) participation in an interdisciplinary community of 

instructors with similar goals to apply what research tells us about learning in the classroom; 2)
