Our flagship program is the five-day training program on Scientific Teaching, which can be offered in different formats: in-person, online, hybrid, campus-based, etc. NIST also offers shorter programs, such as Scientific Teaching Short Course to meet the diverse needs of our community. In addition, NIST offers community network opportunities, such as Faculty Learning Community of NIST (FLACoN), Solve-My-Problem event, to support faculty to implement evidence-based teaching practices.

"It was a wonderful experience, and I hope that more of my colleagues attend next year, so that an entire army of faculty are equipped with the latest weapons to make STEM education meaningful and a joy for all students."
