Student Learning Specialist, STEM Equity Initiatives Stanford Univeersity

Under the general direction of the Associate Director, Student Learning Programs, the Student Learning Specialist, STEM Equity Initiatives (SLS) will help expand and enhance STEM learning initiatives across various departments and programs. The focus of these initiatives will be on creating equitable and inclusive academic environments within introductory STEM courses, particularly for first-generation and/or low-income (FLI) students.The SLS trains and supports undergraduate students who serve as peer learning assistants (LAs) associated with introductory STEM courses. LAs may lead weekly problem solving and mentoring sessions and/or help facilitate group work and active learning in main class sessions, depending on the specific course.The SLS will collaborate closely with instructor-facing CTL colleagues, as well as departments, faculty, and instructors on new and continuing models of direct student learning support integrated with STEM courses. By facilitating the integration of learning strategies with course objectives and driving the continuous improvement of teaching and learning practices within the STEM disciplines, the SLS will play a crucial role in advancing STEM learning and equity initiatives across multiple departments at Stanford.Applications will be reviewed beginning Oct 11, 2024, and on a rolling basis thereafter, with an anticipated start date in January 2025.
