Do you want to try out an idea to improve your teaching, but not sure how? Have you tried an idea to help students, but can't tell if it's working? Is it worthwhile to apply for an education type of grant even if you don't have training in that kind of research?
If you said yes to any of these questions, you are not alone! Come and meet JHU faculty and staff who wanted to measure their impact on students but did not have prior education research training. Come and chat with us in this supportive learning space!
When: Monday, March 9, 1 to 2 p.m.
Who: All Hopkins faculty, staff, grad students, and post-docs
Where: Zoom
