In 2014, Life Sciences led the launch of UCLA’s Center for Education, Innovation & Learning in the Sciences (CEILS) to systematically improve undergraduate science education at UCLA. Through CEILS workshops and trainings, instructors learn evidence-based teaching practices that promote inclusive student success. CEILS also facilitates important dialogues around inclusive education, bringing together and fostering a collaborative community of instructors who are committed to creating optimal learning experiences for our students, who come from a broad range of cultural, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds.
Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning – CIRTL@UCLA
CIRTL@UCLA supports the professional and career development of graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and current faculty who are currently engaged in teaching or considering academic careers.
The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) includes a nation-wide online network of 40+ universities aimed at achieving excellence in undergraduate education by advancing evidence-based teaching practices to improve the learning of all students at every college and university.
UCLA SEA Change Initiative
SEA Change is an initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, that provides community and data-driven structure to create an environment where all faculty and students can thrive in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) fields.
At UCLA, SEA Change, provides a framework and tools for self-assessment to identify context-specific barriers and opportunities, opportunities to work together, and implement plans of action, guided by data.
