Plan now to participate in REEFS 2016 in Fort Lauderdale! The Resources for Ecology Education Fair & Share (REEFS) is an annual workshop held during ESA’s Annual Meeting. It is organized jointly by ESA’s Office of Education and Diversity and the Education Section.
The REEFS session provides faculty an opportunity to learn about favorite classroom activities from colleagues and to learn about what they are doing to engage their undergraduate students using student- active methods. Instructors at all levels of experience are encouraged to participate. This session will break into small groups so that participants can discuss teaching challenges and strategies. 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.
