Greetings colleagues- Just a reminder that the deadline to submit to the contributed program and to apply as a concurrent working group for this summer's Earth Educators' Rendezvous is this * Thursday, March 1.*
*Oral and Poster Submissions via abstract:* The 2018 EER Program Committee is accepting abstracts under two broad headings: Research and Teaching. - *Research presentations* will include the analysis of data that supports research on a variety of geoscience education areas that may include teaching and learning in the classroom, teaching and learning process, assessment of programs or other research areas in teaching and learning in geosciences. Research presentations may be oral or poster format. - *Teaching presentations* may also have some data to support them, but presentations will focus more on innovations in teaching, implementation and/or anecdotal data collection. Teaching presentations may be oral or poster format. Submit your Abstract: <http://goog_488500185/>https://serc. carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2018/program/contributed_program.html *Proposals for Teaching Demonstrations and Share-a-Thon Proposals:* Presentations in this category will engage the audience as participants in a classroom activity. K-16 teaching programs and activities are all encouraged equally. Teaching demonstrations are 20 minutes in length and are in a classroom-style presentation, differing from the less formal, 1-2-minute presentation followed by small-group discussion in the round-robin style of the Share-a-thon sessions. - *Active Teaching Demonstrations*: We are soliciting proposals for demonstrations of successful activities that could result in "take-homes" for attendees to use in their own teaching. Demonstrations should be active, e.g. something that audience members participate in, or a video or slide show of students performing the activity. We welcome proposals for activities that are already a part of the *On the Cutting Edge* collection as well as new submissions. View Guidelines. Propose a Teaching Demonstration: https://serc.carleton.edu/ earth_rendezvous/2018/program/demo_proposal.html *Apply to be a Concurrent Working Group* *The Earth Educators' Rendezvous planning committees encourage concurrent working sessions. Conduct your group meeting at the Rendezvous and benefit from the added value of networking with other Earth educators, attending topical and pedagogical workshops, and disseminating findings in oral and poster sessions. Each participant in your meeting will receive a $20 per paid day registration discount. * * <https://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2018/working_group.html>* *Submit a Working Group Application: *https://serc.carleton.edu/ earth_rendezvous/2018/working_group.html For more information on the Rendezvous, visit https://serc.carleton.ed u/earth_rendezvous/2018/index.html Hope to see you this summer at the Rendezvous! -- Krista Herbstrith, National Association of Geoscience Teachers—Assistant Director Science Education Resource Center (SERC)—Program Manager Carleton College- Northfield, MN 55057 507-222-4545- [email protected] *like us on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/200Division/>* *Join or renew <https://nagt.org/nagt/membership/index.html> your NAGT membership today* *Register today for the Earth Educators' Rendezvous <https://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2018/index.html>, July 16-20, 2018*
