Dear Colleagues: Plan now to participate in REEFS 2016 in Fort Lauderdale! We hope you will participate in the 8th Resources for Ecology Education Fair & Share (REEFS) session jointly organized by the ESA Education Section and Office of Education & Diversity Programs at this year's ESA annual meeting! Teaching ideas at all levels of development are welcome!! For those who are developing a new activity, this is an opportunity for you to get immediate feedback! For those with tested activities come share your teaching resource. We welcome your participation as education leaders! Here's what one of your colleagues said about REEFS 2015: THIS WORKSHOP IS ALWAYS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF ESA FOR ME.
REEFS Goals: *Learn about what colleagues are doing to engage their undergraduate students using active learning methods *Improve classroom activities via the exchange of constructive feedback. *Foster a network of support in advancing ecology education *Encourage digital publishing of teaching resources through ESA’s EcoEd Digital Library and Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE). *Promote the recommendations of the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education Call to Action. Space is limited so register today at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/REEFS2016. As a preliminary step to publication, we ask all presenters to upload their activities to EcoEd Digital Library by May 30, 2016. Changes may be made at any time after May 30 if needed. Questions? Email Kim Bjorgo-Thorne, Education Section chair at bjo...@wvwc.edu, or Teresa Mourad at ter...@esa.org. Thank you- and see you in Fort Lauderdale!
