A Teaching of Adolescent Development (TOAD) SIG will be forming at the 2004 Society for Research on Adolescence Biennial Meeting, Baltimore, MD, 3/11-14/2004. The purpose of the TOAD SIG is:
To provide a forum for discussing and disseminating techniques for teaching of adolescent development. To encourage the development of scholarship in teaching adolescent development. To promote effective pedagogy of adolescent development. To foster community among those who teach adolescent development. We will host a Poster Symposium and Teaching Exchange. The Biennial Meeting will include an opportunity for college and university instructors of adolescent development to present scholarship and research on teaching techniques. The first hour will include poster presentations and discussion on the scholarship of teaching adolescent development, classroom activities, and/or on the effectiveness of techniques. The second hour will allow for a teaching exchange. Attendees should bring 50 to 75 copies of materials (e.g., syllabi, exercise, demonstration instructions, handouts) to the session. Be sure to include your name and email address on the materials for distribution. Posters for submission should pertain to pedagogy of adolescent development. They can be evaluations of classroom exercises, teaching techniques, review processes used in classrooms, technology in teaching adolescent development, or similar areas. Poster submissions may be qualitative or quantitative in design and should include data analyses. To submit a poster for presentation, send a 500-word summary electronically to the organizer, Rob Weisskirch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by October 1, 2003.
