2. Evaluation Strategies and Timelines:a. Determine (non)existence/number of courses: Fall 2008.b. Collect syllabi from existing courses: Fall 2008.c. Compare and contrast topics covered in existing courses: Spring 2009.d. Create model syllabus that integrates CIRTL pillars: Summer 2009

3. Evaluation Issues Arisen, Anticipated?a. Noneb. The analysis of departmental courses gives us a bird’s eye view of the depth/breadth/lack of STEM

departments’ focus on teaching in the discipline.c. The creation of a model course syllabus will allow us to communicate more effectively with those

STEM departments that lack a focus on teaching and learning issues.

Award Pedagogy Course Development Grants to STEM Departments

1.Learning Goals:a.To learn how to work with departments to assist in developing pedagogy courses.b.To create a pedagogy course that truly integrates the CIRTL pillars.c.To be able to create, implement, and study the new course.d.To integrate our CU-Boulder faculty in the DBER group with the CIRTL project as providers of feedback/consultation.e.To be able to reiterate and share the newly developed course with the CIRTL Network.
