In this pilot workshop, political science faculty will present on their experiences and practices related to online teaching and will work together to refine or create online teaching resources to share with the broader political science community.

Alternative programming for students who would have attended the 2020 APSA RBSI Program. Undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds will participate in professional development sessions and will have an opportunity to interact with graduate students, faculty and RBSI Alumni across a variety of political science topics.

This new 3-week virtual-format dissertation workshop focused on public administration and policy will be co-led by Darrell Lovell (West Texas A&M University) and Daniel Mallinson (Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg).

Topics of the workshop include 1) Theories of student learning and the joy of teaching 2) Course Design and Assessment 3) The Inclusive Classroom and 4) Creating a teaching portfolio. In addition to learning some tips from the workshop leaders on the art of teaching, participants will draft a syllabus, assignment, and assessment rubric for one course of their choice, as well as practice delivering a short lesson to their peers.
