Regional Workshop Opportunities: Request for Proposals
We seek proposals for one-half or one-day workshops on topics that have been offered by Cutting Edge in the past including Teaching X (e.g. Petrology, Hydrogeology, etc.), Emerging Themes (e.g. Affective Domain, Teaching with New Tools, Teaching Public Policy, etc.), Career Preparation, and Course Design. See a full list of Cutting Edge workshop topics for additional possibilities.Proposed workshops could be
- ½ or 1 day events offered in association with NAGT or GSA regional meetings
- 1 day stand-alone events for a specific group (e.g. a regional consortium of community colleges or a group of graduate students interested in pursuing careers in academia)
- part of a special conference or activity (e.g. a meeting on the scholarship of teaching and learning)
- something we haven't thought of yet
To fully integrate these regional workshops into the Cutting Edge program and to maximize the use of existing resources, workshop leaders with successful proposals will attend a one-day leadership workshop where they will learn about Cutting Edge program goals, design principles, and website tools. To read more about this workshop or to apply to lead a Cutting Edge regional workshop during Winter 2008 to Fall 2009, see the 2008 Leadership Workshop website.
