Ensure curriculum supports: growth mindset and learning through struggle, inclusive and equity-minded tutoring practices, how to clearly communicate complex STEM concepts, professional identity and transferable skill development.
• Learning Delivery Mechanisms: Design sustainable mechanisms for content delivery. Create tools that reduce facilitator burden while maintaining instruction quality. Ensure materials are adaptable for different tutor experience levels and course contexts.
• Assessment & Evaluation Design: Embed developmental assessment measures throughout the academic year. Design formative and summative evaluation tools to assess tutor growth over time. Create observation rubrics, reflection frameworks, and feedback tools.
• Documentation & Sustainability: Produce clear documentation so curriculum can be sustained beyond the appointment. Create an implementation roadmap for future facilitators. Package curriculum materials for long-term use by the College of Engineering.
• Supervision & Collaboration: Reports to the Director of Student Success & Scholarships in the College of Engineering. Receives feedback from College of Education and College of Engineering partners as appropriate.
