This is a list of the requirements of this Faculty Mentoring Network (FMN). You must complete each of these items in order to be recognized as an ESA Education Scholar and receive the $1000 stipend. 

1. Participants must be willing to incorporate the 4DEE framework into a high-quality educational product (module, lesson, unit, lecture series, etc.).
2. Participants must meet for one hour each week on Fridays at 1:00 PM EDT/ 10:00 AM PDT between February - April (exact dates TBD) in virtual meetings to work with mentors, visiting practitioners, and collaborate with other participants around the adaptation of teaching materials. Some additional time outside of these meetings will be required for independent work on authoring teaching materials.
3. Participants must submit the final version of the educational product at least two weeks before the conference they plan to present. Educational products are subject to the review and approval of peer mentors. All copyright belongs to the author. Please note: if the module contains non-original material, copyright clearance should be secured prior to publication or dissemination. Participants will receive a submission template.
4. Participants must be willing and able to travel, organize a workshop, and/or present at preapproved conferences to disseminate the 4DEE framework and their educational products to new audiences. (Note, the annual ESA meeting is not an approved conference.) Travel support of up to $2,200 will be available only after the final version of the educational product has been accepted. 

Educational products are subject to the review and approval of peer mentors who also serve as guest editors of the the FMN collection.

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 prompt in the forum
• Post a reflection on your integration of multiple dimensions in the forum
• Be a participant facilitator for a working group meeting

 Share your final products with the QUBES Hub and the 4DEE Website. We ask that you share your teaching materials (teacher notes, curriculum materials, assessments, etc.) on the QUBES Hub site and on the 4DEE website by 12/31/2024 to be recognized as an ESA Education Scholar and receive the $1000 stipend. A template for submission will be provided at the beginning of the FMN. We also ask that you share your instructor story with the community during the 4DEE virtual Showcase. 

Participants must be willing and able to travel, organize a workshop, and present at approved conferences to disseminate the 4DEE framework and their module to new audiences.

Participants that meet all the above requirements of the FMN, will be offered an opportunity to present their teaching module that is aligned to the 4DEE Framework at an approved conference. Stipend support of up to $2200 will be provided. Presentations are expected to occur before August 2025, and participants must be willing to submit final versions of the educational product they are working on, including any suggested revisions by peer mentors, at least two weeks, before the conference they plan to present.

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.
