Author discusses book on grad school

Graduate school is a great mystery to students, and to some faculty members, says Jessica McCrory Calarco, the author of A Field Guide to Grad School: Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum (Princeton University Press). Calarco is an associate professor of sociology at Indiana University. She believes many faculty members (as well as graduate students, of course) will benefit from her book. She responded to questions via email. Q: How did you get the idea to write this book? Why did the issue speak to you? A: This book started as a tweet . Or, rather, as a series of tweets about the hidden curriculum of higher ed. Ph.D. student Kristen K. Smith had tweeted about the need to better educate undergrads about grad school opportunities, and it made me think about how opportunities in academe are often hidden from grad students, as well. Reflecting on my own experiences in grad school, I thought about the many times I'd found myself embarrassed because of what I didn't know -- the ...

Tips and Strategies for Remote Learning (March 2020)

For the past four weeks, starting two weeks before our Spring Break last week, teachers, administrators and staff at our school have been preparing for “remote school” for students as a result of the coronavirus / COVID-19 crisis.

This collaborative effort with many other teachers and members of our school staff has provided a good opportunity to curate as well as present instruc...

Tristin: Construction Management Consultant and Former San Francisco 49ers Cheerleader

Hi everyone! SciCheer Wendy here with another great interview from former San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush cheerleader Tristin! Tristin co-founded a Construction Management company where she works as a Construction Manager for projects in the Colorado area. She was also a Pop Warner and Fresno State cheerleader and cheered continuously for 18 years! As a woman with an established and rewarding career in STEM, Tristin has some great advice for our future Science Cheerleaders. What turned you on to STEM and when? My dad is a mechanical engineer, so I spent a lot of time helping him in the garage with his car hobby. I knew I liked getting my hands dirty but not exactly sure in what way. In high school I was able to enroll in architectural drafting classes. I loved it! I was the only girl those 3 years, but boy was it a confidence builder, especially when you are getting better grades on assignments than the guys on the football team I was cheering for! That teacher, Harvey Kirk, al...
