This Institutional Implementation project is building on the work of ten senior faculty supported by a strong research and implementation staff dedicated to changing the culture of STEM instruction and increase the use of evidence-based teaching. The process is one of Researching Evidence-Based Undergraduate Instructional and Learning Developments (REBUILD), an approach inspired by the strong progress made under an earlier NSF ADVANCE grant to this University. The goal of REBUILD is to advance a culture of evidence-based teaching through the work of a team of ten leading faculty members from physics, chemistry, biology, math, and education. REBUILD forms the vanguard of these reform efforts, providing an embedded center of expertise in evidence-based education, supporting more than twenty course reform teams across all of our STEM disciplines, and spreading through dozens of research-to-reform seminars in our department colloquia. REBUILD is leveraging the efforts of the existing Learning Analytics Task Force and the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching. It has clear visible backing from the Provost, Deans, and Department Chairs. REBUILD course reform teams include faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates in multigenerational collaborations that emulate the traditional research groups at this University.

该机构实施项目是建立在十名高级教师的工作基础上的，他们得到了强大的研究和实施人员的支持，致力于改变STEM教学的文化，并增加循证教学的使用。 该过程是研究循证本科教学和学习发展（重建）的一个过程，这种方法的灵感来自于早期NSF ADVANCE授予这所大学的强劲进展。 REBUILD的目标是通过来自物理，化学，生物学，数学和教育的十名主要教师的工作来推进循证教学的文化。重建形成了这些改革努力的先锋，提供了一个嵌入式的循证教育专业知识中心，支持我们所有STEM学科的二十多个课程改革团队，并通过我们部门座谈会的数十个研究到改革研讨会传播。 REBUILD正在利用现有的学习分析任务组和学习与教学研究中心的努力。 它有明显可见的支持，从教务长，院长，和部门主席。 重建课程改革团队包括教师，研究生和本科生在多代合作，模仿传统的研究小组在这所大学。
