Plan-Do-Study-Act Cohort

WVU Institute of Technology (Beckley)

Led by Engaged Teaching Scholar Aida Jimenez Esquilin

This program is designed to help you explore, experiment, and reflect on your teaching practice in a practical, evidence-informed, and time-manageable way. Instructors will work through short, focused Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles (4–5 weeks each). Each cycle targets a specific teaching challenge of your choice and is supported by resources, coaching, and light-touch data collection (such as mid-semester student feedback, engagement tracking, or grade trends). A template will be provided that instructors complete at their convenience, followed by a one-hour initial meeting with to get started.

Why Join?

• Practical and manageable: Short cycles allow meaningful experimentation without overburdening your schedule.
• Collaborative and cross-disciplinary: Share ideas, successes, and challenges with colleagues across campus.
• Produce evidence-based artifacts to strengthen your annual reviews, promotion portfolios, and scholarly teaching goals.

This program supports both new and experienced faculty looking to refine their teaching and create tangible deliverables for their teaching portfolios. Let's work together to build a stronger, more connected teaching community at WVU Tech.
