Faculty Development Opportunities for Interdisciplinary Teaching About Climate Change (Applications Due March 25) <http://nsf-be-03.ad.nsf.gov/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.smdepo news.org/programs-events/faculty-development-opportunities-for-interdisc iplinary-teaching-about-climate-change-applications-due-march-25/>
Applications Due March 25; June 28-July 1 and August 8-11; Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa. Dickinson College is offering two programs this summer to enhance competencies for interdisciplinary teaching about climate change. The Changing Planet Faculty Study Group, a year-long learning community, begins with a four-day workshop (June 28-July 1) that will bring together faculty from multiple institutions to explore what we should teach about climate change in our physical science, social science and humanities courses, and how we should teach. Participants will share expertise, experiences, lesson plans and exercises, and hear from subject area experts. Members of the learning community will continue to collaborate after the workshop through distance-media and a second one-day workshop in spring 2012. The second opportunity is the Climate Modeling and Data Tools Workshop (Aug.8-11). This workshop offers training in the use of a global climate model and tools to integrate and visualize climatic, environmental and socioeconomic data for teaching about climate change. Applications are open to faculty in any discipline from any college or university.
