class performance, as well as critiques from students. I identified severalteaching workshops to gain some instructional training and discussed attending them with mydepartment chair. Finally, I showed how attending the conferences has culminated in improvingmy teaching effectiveness.In my quest to be a student-centered instructor, I believe the SET is an essential data source thatcan be used to assess teaching effectiveness. Other data points exist that can complement SETs.For instance, discussions with other faculty members showed that they also found SETs helpful,but they did not use them in isolation. Peer evaluation of instruction was an additionalconsideration in assessing teaching effectiveness.References[1] B. Algozzine, J. Beattie, M

Through University web pages: Implications for a more inclusive communityAbstractThis qualitative study investigates web pages documenting COVID-19 responses from 28universities across the United States. Using grounded theory methodology, we inductivelydeveloped a model of universities' response to the pandemic. Four types of strategies wereidentified from the data and a theoretical model was developed describing (a) causal conditionsthat underlie the strategies for response to the pandemic, (b) the context that influenced thestrategies adopted by the universities, (c) intervening conditions due to the pandemic thatinfluenced strategy development, and (d) potential recommendations to make

The main objective of the work-in-progress(WIP) is to develop a methodology to: (a) automatically extract assertions of perceived quality ofteaching using machine learning techniques. (b) provide a mechanism to compare instructors basedon the extracted assertion/qualities. The contributions of the paper are (a) methodology to mineteaching evaluation and (b) an open-source tool to facilitate educational establishments executeempirical studies and students perform exploratory analytics on the teaching evaluations.

We also identified that a useful end productfor participants in the workshop would be a self-customized guide for their desired next steps ineducational research, where the workshop experiences would facilitate and support informeddevelopment of this customized guide. The results of this effort in terms of workshop design arepresented below.RecruitmentStaff from the University’s center for faculty development advertised the workshop on theirwebsite as well as by emailing faculty and
explicitly encouraged.NEO presents the holistic benefits of the skills TAs are learning, not just for their role as a TA,and use this as a framing for the whole training program. We approach the design of NEO withthe perspective that if we can help TAs develop skills to succeed in their own goals that they willhave more capacity to help their students succeed. More than simply training and onboarding, wepresent new TAs with these perspectives so they have the tools to mindfully approach their workas instructors, graduate students, members of the engineering and scientific communities, andabove all, as human beings. Further study is required to determine effectiveness of the training.Sources[1] Meyers, Chet, and Thomas B. Jones. Promoting Active

In step 2,teaching self-efficacy was entered into the regression equation such that the equation consistedof teaching support, chair support, and teaching self-efficacy. Step 1 of each analysis provided ananswer to question (1) above while step 2 provided an answer to question (2).Step one of the analysis indicated that teaching support significantly and positively predictedteaching satisfaction (b = .42, t = 3.80, p < .001), while chair support was not a significantpredictor of teaching satisfaction (b = .11, t = .93, p > .05).
