FMN Requirements
This is a list of the requirements of this Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN). You must complete each of these items in order to receive recognition as an NIBLSE Education Scholar. Detailed instructions for sharing final products will be distributed in February but an overview of the expectations has been shared below.
- Be an active participant for the entirety of the network
- Implement materials into at least one class period during the Spring 2021 semester
- Share your final products to the QUBES Hub and your instructor story
Be an active participant for the entirety of the network
To accomplish this goal, you must:
- Attend all of your working group meetings
- Post responses to assignment prompts in the forum
- Develop an implementation plan and include a reflection of the experience post-implementation
- Collect student assessment data pre- and post-implementation and complete a brief post-FMN participant survey
- Be a participant facilitator for a working group meeting
Implement materials into at least one class period during the Spring 2021 semester
Your modifications should be implemented in at least one class period of your Spring 2021 course(s). You may implement a small portion of a module, or the whole thing. You may choose to implement the modules in separate courses (i.e. one module in your intro bio course and the other in your senior level ecology course). If you have a question, please don't hesitate to ask one of your group leaders.
Share your final products to the QUBES Hub
We ask that you share your teaching materials (teacher notes, curriculum materials, assessments, etc.) on the QUBES Hub site. We also ask that you share your instructor story with the community. More detailed instructions on this process will be posted in February.
We understand that scheduling meetings for a group of very busy faculty participants is difficult. If you have an unexpected conflict and are unable to attend a meeting, please let your group leaders know in advance.
