We work towards a student experience in which meeting academic goals and maintaining good mental health not only coexist, but are mutually beneficial. We acknowledge the importance of individuality when solving problems. We aim to co-construct effective learning environments with students, faculty, staff, and administration where students develop the problem solving skills necessary to achieve both their educational and personal goals.
Problem Solving Fellows:
- Inclusively develop teaching and problem solving skills for student educators (e.g. UTAs and Peer Tutors).
- Provide feedback to peers and faculty about their pedagogy and problem solving through teaching observations and consultations.
- Collaborate with faculty members and students to develop effective and inclusive learning environments.
- Design effective problems (e.g. homework sets, in-class problems) for courses in consultation with instructors and students.
- Bring in speakers with diverse ideas and identities to share how they teach and apply problem solving in their work.
- Investigate and report on how students and instructors problem solve and make teaching and learning decisions at Brown.
