PROJECT EDDIE FACULTY MENTORING NETWORK – Spring 2020

Teaching Quantitative Reasoning and Scientific Concepts with Environmental Data
Led by Melissa Hage

Are you interested in teaching quantitative reasoning and looking to include data exploration in your classroom? This opportunity will bring together instructors interested in implementing Project EDDIE modules (https://serc.carleton.edu/eddie/modules.html) that address quantitative reasoning and scientific concepts spanning environmental disciplines (e.g., ecology, limnology, hydrology, climate change, and environmental sciences) with a flexible structure to fit all teaching situations. Participants in this FMN will focus on how to use EDDIE modules in their undergraduate courses by participating in virtual sessions held every other week to collaborate with and support others in the network and receive mentoring. Participants will implement one module and leave the FMN with more modules ready for implementation, access to a support network of peers, and an instructor story to share their experience about adapting and implementing an EDDIE module.

Apply by January 22. Visit: https://qubeshub.org/community/groups/eddiefmnsp2020
