Providing Innovative Training to Advance an Equitable and Inclusive STEM Workforce The Institute for Scientist & Engineer Educators (ISEE) prepares early-career scientists and engineers to be productive educators and professionals. ISEE focuses on effective and inclusive teaching, including mentoring, and also includes training in professional skills such as communication, teamwork, collaboration, and leadership. At the heart of ISEE is the Professional Development Program (PDP), a series of workshops and a practical teaching experience in an ISEE program or affiliated course. Participants often return to the PDP for multiple years, returning in leadership roles that further develop their skills, and contribute to advancing the ISEE community's work. In addition to the PDP, ISEE develops and offers workshops on mentoring and other professional skills, and is engaged in research on teaching, learning, and professional development. ISEE is housed in the Division of Social Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, and has many partners at UCSC and beyond. ISEE is led by a director with input from a UCSC faculty executive committee. Staff and faculty from UCSC and partner institutions, as well as consultants, serve as PDP instructors. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and PDP alumni are all actively involved in shaping ISEE and stimulating new projects.
