[PAST EVENT] Early Career Geoscience Faculty Workshop
July 26, 2015 - August 1, 2015
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. Participants from prior workshops write:
"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."
"This was a great workshop - I thought the workshop facilitators were great and I really enjoyed getting to know them and my new colleagues. I feel energized by the workshop, have a new research collaboration, and feel more in control of my teaching. I am glad I gave myself the gift of being here!"
Participants must have a full-time faculty position at a two-year or four-year college or a university at the time of the workshop and must be in their first three years of full-time teaching or starting a full-time position in the fall. See the overview page for details.
