researchers newto EER.EER PERT Project Goals Building on the JEE Mentored Reviewer Program, the broader EER PERT project seeksto develop peer review training for EER scholars and conduct research on how individualsdevelop mental models of the review process. The research goals of the project entail addressingthe following research questions: ● How do scholars develop schema for quality EER through collaboratively constructing peer reviews? ● How do reviewing skills in EER improve research skills?While we have already gained insights through the experiences and reflections from previousparticipants in the JEE Mentored Reviewer Program, we are exploring these questions moredeeply by including a research component.

90% of my students (N=87) strongly agreedthat sharing my teaching philosophy is critical. Additionally, underrepresented students wereempowered and archived more than half the “A”s in my courses. In conclusion, since equal is notalways fair, instructors must make their expectations exceptionally clear to ensure that anystudent can succeed and earn an “A.” I believe it is time for educators to polish their teachingphilosophy, create appealing visual models, and share them with their students.IntroductionDeveloping a Teaching Philosophy Statement (TPS) is central in any academic career [1]. TPSdeclares the educator’s approach to teaching and learning. Creating a teaching philosophyengages educators in metacognitive reflection on what they

of this Enhanced InnovationSchema. These models include the Renaissance Foundry Model (herein the Foundry) [1], [4] forCollaboration and for Teamwork, Sawyer’s [2] group genius guidelines and the Functional-BasedApproach [5] that guides the organization of teams for a given target academic activity. Section 3will describe the key aspects involved in the Enhanced Innovation Schema. Section 4 will offerselected illustrative examples where the approach has been successfully applied. Section 5 willoverview selected lessons learned, and reflection pieces of the co-authors involved in theseexamples. Finally, Section 6 will highlight key pieces of additional research needed to advance thedevelopment and implementation of the approach.(1) Motivation

14% than its runner-up.3.2. Remote versus Traditional in-person ClassroomsThe students from summer 2020 classes were surveyed with an extra question, shown in Table 2.These students totaled 124 in four different classes, where 70 of them had the synchronous methodwithout recording, 40 of them had synchronous method with recording, and 62 had theasynchronous method. The rationale behind this question was to reflect on remote classroomexperience and indicate if it can be related to a traditional in-person experience, given that by theend of summer 2020, the students have experienced at least two semesters of fully remoteclassroom experience. Figure 5 shows a summary of the results for the four given options. Whilethe traditional in-person

between higher educationinstitutions and governments in securing their repatriation. Back in their home countries, manyinternational students faced issues with unstable internet access, limited space to work and studyin their own homes, and time zone differences which made it difficult to adapt to and learn in theremote setting. These difficulties were compounded for Asian international students by a rise inanti-Asian sentiment and hate crimes in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significantincreases in Sinophobic slurs on Twitter, social media, message boards, and other platforms ofAmerican culture reflected a shift toward blaming the Chinese for the COVID-19 pandemic andamplified negative bias against both international and U.S. Asian students
