Gateways-ND is a 5-year, National Science Foundation-funded effort directed toward three goals: maximizing the instructional effectiveness of postsecondary STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) faculty by building expertise in learner-focused practice, positively impacting student success in STEM-based "gateway" courses, and developing student persistence in STEM learning. The program, which began in 2015, works with cohorts of 30 STEM faculty for 2 years per cohort and includes 10 days of workshops; faculty learning communities; and a research component that examines the who, what, when, why, and how of change in classroom teaching and curriculum development. To date, 12,547 students at North Dakota State University have been taught by at least one Gateways-ND-trained faculty member. The Gateways-ND leadership team is seeing positive change in teaching and in student attitudes toward learning. With administrative buy-in, minor internal funding, and commitment from pedagogical experts, we believe institutions can move from a lecture-based instructional "norm" to an active learning-based norm without external funding.
