Dear Early Career Workshop alumni
I'm writing to encourage you to consider coming to the 2015 first annual
Earth Educators' Rendezvous, which will bring together researchers and
practitioners working in all aspects of undergraduate Earth education.
We welcome faculty, post-docs, and grad students from all disciplines
who are interested in improving their teaching about the Earth,
administrators from geoscience departments and interdisciplinary
programs that want to become stronger, and education researchers of all
types. Join the Rendezvous for 2 or 3 days or stay the whole week. *To
learn more and to register, visit:
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2015/overview.html*
The program includes morning workshops (MTW workshops and ThF
workshops), poster sessions, oral sessions, afternoon workshops, late
afternoon plenary sessions, and a great opportunity to connect with
colleagues in a great locality. Boulder Colorado! July 13-17. Come
for two days, three days, or the full five-day event.
You can create your "own program", selecting workshops and going to
sessions that are of most interest to you. As just one example, here
are some of the sessions and workshops on diversity. Check out the
program to explore all the options.
* Workshop: Developing your Cultural Competency: Individual
Actions to Improve the Climate for All
<UrlBlockedError.aspx>with Professors Gary Weissmann and
Roberto Ibarra
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, July 13-15 | 8:30am-11:30 am
The workshop is targeted for faculty and administrators who
are interested in some potential reasons we have not attracted
a diverse community in the geosciences, and explore things
that can be done programmatically and in curricula to broaden
the appeal of geosciences and help retain and support students
once they choose the major.
* Workshop: Improving the Odds of Student Success: Academic
Supports and More
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2015/morning_workshops/w11/index.htmlwith
Professor John Matsui
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2015/morning_workshops/w11/index.htmlThursday
and Friday, July 16-17 | 8:30am-11:30 am
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2015/morning_workshops/w11/index.htmlBeyond
implementing 'the list' of components that make-up STEM
diversity programs across the country, what must we do
differently to diversify who succeeds in STEM majors and
careers? Using the latest social science research and 22 years
of student success data from UC Berkeley's Biology Scholars
Program, the workshop will analyze and problem-solve how to go
from theory to practice to help us implement these
recommendations with our particular institutions and students.
* Plenary: Diversifying ScienceIs it as simple as replicating
'programs that work'?
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2015/plenary_sessions/index.htmlwith
Professor John Matsui
Wednesday, July 15 | 4:30pm-5:30pm |
How can we more effectively help our under-represented (and
all) students succeed in STEM majors and related careers?
* Workshop: Increasing the Diversity of your Graduates
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2015/mini_workshops/index.html
with Professor Ashanti Johnson
Friday, July 17 | 1:30pm-4:15pm
This interactive workshop draws on broadening participation
research and literature to introduce the many positive factors
that reduce barriers to participation and support success in
STEM pathways, enabling diverse students and early career
professionals to succeed and persist in STEM fields. The goal
is to provide participants the information they need to begin
formulating personal action plans for cultivating,
implementing, and facilitating positive factors of change in
their own graduate level programs.
* Poster Session: Teaching for Diversity
http://serc.carleton.edu/earth_rendezvous/2015/posters/session_f.html
Wednesday, July 15 | 11:30am-1:30pm
* Oral Session: Teaching for Diversity
