STEMskiller: Skill Set Map for Mentors of Early Career Researchers
LEARNING, TEACHING, AND SUPERVISING: Basics for early career researchers
Teaching for researchers/mentoring for scientists
Definition:
Faculty whose primary mission is to conduct research may find it challenging to balance research and teaching responsibilities, particularly at institutions without student support resources. STEMskiller, as a whole, is designed to assist researchers at such institutions by providing links to relevant high-quality information to share with mentees, allowing them to focus on specific questions and discipline-related mentorship. Over time, STEMskiller will include additional resources for specific STEM disciplines.
Useful resources on Teaching for researchers/mentoring for scientists:
MIT Teaching+Learning Lab. (n.d.). STEM concept videos. https://tll.mit.edu/help/stem-concept-videos
Set of videos which can be reused for introducing beginning engineering STEM students to key concepts and themes across disciplines.
Stanford University Teaching Commons. (n.d.). https://teachingcommons.stanford.edu/
Resources and articles, including discipline-specific articles ranging from at-home chemistry kits for remote labs to problem sets and beyond.
Vitae. (2020). Leadership development for principal investigators (PIs). https://www.vitae.ac.uk/doing-research/leadership-development-for-principal-investigators-pis
Basic overviews of: intellectual leadership, leading a research project, building and managing a research team, developing individual researchers, developing yourself as a PI plus additional resources.
