Martha Mullally<\/a>, an instructor in Carleton\u2019s\u00a0Department of Biology, has been named the 2021\u00a0Carleton University Chair in Teaching Innovation<\/a>\u00a0for her dedication to encouraging new teaching practices within the STEM disciplines.<\/p>\n

The Chair in Teaching Innovation recognizes\u00a0educators who have demonstrated teaching excellence and innovation across their career. Chairs receive\u00a0a $45,000 grant spanning three years to undertake projects that advance the\u00a0Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)<\/a>\u00a0at Carleton.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Carleton community, I congratulate Dr. Mullally on this achievement,\u201d said Jerry Tomberlin, Carleton\u2019s Provost and Vice-President (Academic). \u201cMartha\u2019s commitment to the scholarship of teaching and learning in the STEM disciplines is an outstanding example of how our community is rethinking pedagogy in innovative ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this grant, Mullally plans to strengthen the link between the Faculty of Science and Teaching and Learning Services to help change the way instructors teach. She hopes to implement more evidence-based teaching practices to positively impact student performance and success rates across the\u00a0Faculty.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, the goal really is to reduce failure rates with the objective of increasing retention across the board, including people who have been historically underrepresented in science,\u201d she said. \u201cI think we really have a responsibility as gatekeepers in science to open up the gate and teaching practices link to that. Improving our teaching practices can reduce failure rates and then it can make the gate open a little wider for more people to come and join.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMartha is an exceptional instructor who is committed to breaking down educational barriers and increasing students\u2019 opportunities for success,\u201d said Associate Vice-President (Teaching and Learning) David Hornsby. \u201cWe are excited to see her project come to life and the incredible impact it will have on our Faculty of Science and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mullally says she plans to enhance ongoing initiatives in the Faculty, including the STEM Educational Journal Club, in addition to launching a number of new initiatives, such as an inclusive teaching toolkit<\/a>, which she’s developed\u00a0along with Prof. Rowan Thomson, Assistant Dean (Equity, Diversity and Inclusion), and student Candice Harris. She wants to continue to develop the community pieces around Carleton\u2019s teaching culture so that people feel supported and able to try new approaches in their teaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe literature is clear, and I know from my own experience that when you feel supported and encouraged by your peers to try something new in your classroom, it\u2019s more likely that you\u2019ll be able to be succeed,\u201d said Mullally.<\/p>\n

While the focus of Mullally\u2019s project is the Faculty of Science, she plans to engage with peers from other non-science disciplines, both within and outside of Carleton, through presentations and scholarly publications on lessons learned.<\/p>\n

For Mullally, receiving this distinction was a confirmation of Carleton\u2019s commitment to fostering student success and positive change through teaching innovation and scholarly work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost since the very first day I started here, I\u2019ve felt so much support around my big project of talking, engaging and doing research about teaching,\u201d said Mullally. \u201cThis is kind of the icing on top of just really feeling that Carleton doesn\u2019t just talk about the importance of teaching, it really walks the walk and that happens on all levels of campus. It\u2019s really exciting for me to be part of this, but also to just feel the support that people do really believe that teaching is important and they\u2019re willing to invest in projects like this to make it real.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
