Mission Statement

The Teaching Committee is dedicated to empowering SRCD members and developmental science educators in higher education by offering pedagogical support and resources. Our mission is to elevate the quality of teaching and foster more inclusive learning experiences for all students.

We achieve this mission through a range of initiatives, including webinars and a pre-conference Teaching Institute (TI). Our webinars delve into critical pedagogical issues with an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The TI is an interactive and collaborative one-day event that precedes the SRCD biennial conference. We organize and run a diverse array of sessions, including poster presentations, workshops, and roundtable discussions. These sessions provide a platform for attendees to engage in a vibrant exchange of ideas, share innovative strategies, and enhance the quality of teaching and learning in developmental science.

Through these efforts, we aspire to nurture a community of educators committed to advancing the field of developmental science while ensuring educational excellence and equity.
