InTeGrate is pleased to announce the Fall 2017 InTeGrate professional development webinar series.
Free and open to the public, this series will incorporate InTeGrate pedagogies into teaching practices, provide resources available for adoption, and create a forum for participants to learn and share teaching strategies. Join us for our first webinar of the series: Assessing the Impact of InTeGrate Materials in Introductory Environmental Science and Botany Courses <https://serc.carleton.edu/integrate/workshops/webinars/2017_2018/itg_envsci_botany/index.html> *Thursday, August 31, 2017* *9:00 am PT | 10:00 am MT | 11:00 am CT | 12:00 pm ET* Presenter: Tara Jo Holmberg (Northwestern Connecticut Community College) Registration Deadline <https://serc.carleton.edu/integrate/workshops/webinars/2017_2018/itg_envsci_botany/registration.html>: August 29, 2017 Using InTeGrate modules in an Introduction to Environmental Science course since the spring of 2016, gains in student achievement in objectives related to soils, agriculture, mining, climate change, among others have been measurable. The QUBES InTeGrate Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN) <http://serc.carleton.edu/integrate/teaching_materials/qubes.html> in Spring 2016 was invaluable for guidance with modifying and launching the initial modules used in the course: 'A Growing Concern' and 'Soils, Systems, and Society.' Additional modules were added in the fall of 2016 to strengthen the course and previous modules were improved. Recent experiences as a co-mentor for QUBES InTeGrate FMN in spring 2017, has led to new depths of reflection, additional modules utilized, and new courses employed. Student feedback and results of assessments will be shared as part of the session. At the end of this webinar, participants will have: - examples and strategies for adapting InTeGrate modules that introduce Biology content - greater familiarity with InTeGrate principles and materials - new colleagues engaged in this work ​(all webinars are recorded, if you can't make the time for the live event, check back on the webinar information page for the screencast/recording) -- Krista Herbstrith, Program Manager Science Education Resource Center—SERC, National Association of Geoscience Teachers Carleton College Northfield, MN 55057 507-222-5634 [email protected] *like us on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/200Division/>*
