www.esa.org/ldc Students Indifferent to Biology? Do you have ideas to bring the excitement of discovery and the wonder of a rapidly changing biology to your students? Then join us in Realizing Vision and Change, Preparing for Next Generation Biology! Share your lesson ideas and resources and receive helpful peer feedback at the Education Share Fair. Instructors, researchers, curriculum developers, technology experts and department leaders are all vitally needed in this project and welcome! We invite proposals for the Education Share Fair Roundtables (45 mins) to share ideas that are suitable, scalable, and adaptable to secondary and post-secondary levels of education in addressing the objectives of both the K12 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Vision and Change for Undergraduate Biology Education (V&C). What is the Education Share Fair Roundtable format? Each presentation will be at a roundtable with up to seven other participants. Discussions can cover issues related but not restricted to core concepts, teaching methodology, misconceptions, assessment or educational extensions. This session is designed for educators to share lesson ideas and resources (images, datasets, charts, case studies, videos etc.) at any stage of development to receive peer feedback. Success stories and preliminary ideas are both welcome. All presenters with fully developed teaching ideas are strongly encouraged to publish in the LifeDiscoveryEd Digital Library as a record of conference proceedings.
