you please help us publicize this summer's workshop by distributing the

*Early Career Geoscience Faculty Workshop: Teaching, Research, and
Managing Your Career*
June 22-26, 2014 with optional trip to NSF on Friday, June 27
at University of Maryland, College Park, MD
http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/earlycareer2014/index.html
*Application deadline: March 1, 2014*
If you are in your first three years of a permanent academic position,
please apply to join us for a multi-day workshop in a stimulating and
resource-rich environment where you will participate in sessions on
topics including effective teaching strategies, course design,
establishing a research program in a new setting, working with research
students, balancing professional and personal responsibilities, and time
management. The workshop is offered by NAGT /On the Cutting Edge/
professional development program for geoscience faculty with partial
support from the National Science Foundation. Past participants give
high praise for this workshop. Here are a few quotes:
//
/"This workshop is one of the best things I have done for my career!"/
//
/"... it is very helpful to form a network of colleagues at other
institutions. I think I made some friendships that will last my career." /
//
/"The workshop totally changed my view of teaching from teacher-oriented
to student-oriented. It's no more what I want to teach but what students
need to learn or take away from the course. This is the essential point
that I will keep in mind when I design course goals, syllabi, in-class
activities, assignments, and exams."/
//
/"I am heading back to my institution feeling that I am better equipped
to be a more efficient and effective teacher, researcher, colleague,
father, husband, and community member."/
WORKSHOP GOALS:
* Learn about setting course goals, strategies for active learning,
and methods for assessment.
* Share ideas and strategies for teaching courses.
* Consider successful strategies for maintaining an active research
program and advising/supervising undergraduate and/or graduate
research students.
* Discuss life as an early-career faculty member and explore ways to
balance teaching, research, and service responsibilities.
* Leave with examples of assignments and activities for various
courses, strategies for balancing competing demands, a support
network of other early career faculty, and a plan for managing
your early career as an academic.
The workshop fee of $700 (or $650 for NAGT members) will cover most
meals and double-occupancy rooms. Participants will pay for some meals,
and participants or their home institutions must provide transportation
to and from the workshop. In cases where the cost of attending this
workshop would cause financial hardship, you can apply for a stipend to
help defray these costs.
Our National Science Foundation grant provides funding for the remainder
of the operational costs of the workshop. To be supported by these
funds, a participant must be either a US citizen, a permanent resident,
or in the employ of a US institution. If you don't meet these
requirements and are interested in participating in this workshop at
your own expense, please contact Rachel Beane rbeane<at>bowdoin.edu
<rbeane<at>bowdoin.edu>.
