EP3 Guide: Supporting Research-Based Teaching in Your Department

Implementing research-based teaching throughout a department comes with challenges that are different from implementing research-based teaching in a single classroom. The Effective Practices for Physics Programs (EP3) Guide (EP3guide.org) has a newly released section, "Supporting Research-Based Teaching in Your Department" which describes how departments can create cultural structures to support instructional staff in both in-person and online modalities. Several sections of the guide offer suggestions for how to incorporate research-based teaching in specific types of physics courses, such as introductory and upper-level courses. We describe these sections of the EP3 Guide as well as others that help create the cultural and structural changes needed to support student learning using research-based teaching.
