teams to work effectively. Other issues that need to be taught are: how to handlesuccesses and failures and how to use peer evaluations to improve teamwork (Vik, 2001)12.What is teamwork?Teamwork is a technique that allows individual team members to work together to achieve acommon goal (Barkley & Saylor, 2001)1. In their gook entitled: Customer –Driven ProjectManagement, Barkley and Saylor spell out teamwork as specifically involving the followingattributes:  Trust  Effective communication, especially listening  A positive “can do “ attitude  Motivation to perform and improve  “We” mentality  “Ownership” of work with pride  Respect and consideration

then writing brief (one paragraph) narratives to respond to the positive and thenegative themes. Importantly, consider moving beyond focusing only on student reviews ofteaching to include peer reviews6 of teaching (of course design, of technology use, etc.), samplesof course materials you developed/improved/use, evidence of student learning, and more2,3. Atthe panel session accompanying this paper, panel speakers will share handouts listing types ofevidence that can be used to support different kinds of claims about teaching, so that sessionparticipants can plan to collect and present types of evidence that will be the most meaningful totheir individual portfolios.Teaching Portfolios: Complicating IssuesCreating a summative teaching portfolio

In other words, we werepresented both as outside researchers and as "junior members" of their line of work, and studyparticipants related to us as such when discussing their experiences.Data collection: focusing on written attendee reflections Page 24.1366.4Within the existing workshop activities, written reflections were the data source that mostdirectly addressed our research questions about faculty motivations and workshop perceptions.All attendees were given time to hand-write brief thoughts on their hopes, worries, etc. for theweek at the start (Monday) and mid-point (Wednesday) of the workshop.

Faculty were also requested to perform the following: create apanoramic outline (divide each course into 30 class sessions) prior to starting the SFIP in June;write granular learning outcomes for each and every class session during the SFIP; and prepare areview sheet for students per exam that is based on the learning outcomes created during theSFIP. Partial results of the SFIP are also provided.Introduction The Summer Faculty Immersion Program (SFIP) strives to ignite and sustain innovativeclassroom practices in engineering and physics courses in a manner that will promote lastingchange in the faculty.

. Students are asked to answer aquestion individually; then they discuss the answers and can be given an opportunity tochange their answer. It takes time to plan good peer-instruction exercises, and it’s easierto justify the time when many students will benefit from it. Students may be moreunderstanding when asked to purchase a clicker for a large class rather than a small class.Tech support is needed to make clickers work smoothly, and it is more likely to beavailable if the class is large.Category 2: Less effort per credit hour taught. In a large class, on most campuses, youwill get TA or grader support; in a small class, you may not. If you have multiple TAs,they can specialize in performing different tasks. For example, in a recent class

the Likert scale questions, students are asked to write responses to “What aspectsof the teaching or content of this course do you feel were especially good?” In 2011, all eightstudents responded. The top aspects mentioned were “the teacher’s attitude” by three students,“assignments” by two students, and “PowerPoints” by two students. In 2013, apparently somestudents responded multiple times because the report shows 13 comments from seven students.The top aspects mentioned were “The Avengers theme” by 11 students and “teacher’s attitude”by three students. Two pertinent comments were “The usefulness of the Avengers theme is agreat example of the purpose of fiction – to predict how real decisions are made in difficult butrelevant circumstances

As Berge states, "…learning involves two types of interaction:interaction with content and interpersonal interaction (i.e., interaction with other people)" (p.22[10]). Kearsley and Lynch contend that online courses must adopt a pedagogical frameworkmore closely aligned with social learning theory for students to maximize the benefits of onlineinstruction [6].Online education has been gaining popularity for the last two decades. It has expandeddramatically since the 1990s and continued

the score criteria. Students had to be reminded bi-weekly that theywere allowed, and encouraged, to discuss the topic with their peers prior to answering a clickerquestion.For the weekly team-based learning activities, students chose to stay in the same group of three forthe whole semester, with some minor shifting of groups. The instructor allowed students to startthe activity whenever a group of three students naturally synthesized. Therefore, students wouldgravitate towards pods with one or two students already present so they could start the assign-ment early. In this study we did not keep track of the group development, but this is something tomonitor in the future. The team-based learning activities were generally well received

their progress through higher education focuses on the importance oflearning communities. Realizing the significance of such emotionally sustaining supportnetworks should alert faculty members to the need to seize on opportunities to assist theirdevelopment when these arise. A caring faculty can assist in bringing students closertogether through formation of learning partnerships, peer teaching, and sharing data andinformation with one another. It has been astonishing to see how working in collaborativedissertation groups has affected students. Long after their graduation, students recall themost significant aspect of their graduate program being the interpersonal learning and thedevelopment of collaborative sensitivity and mutual understanding
