On the Cutting Edge Opportunities
From Cathy Manduca, Executive Director of NAGT
We would like to draw your attention to two upcoming opportunities for Virtual Workshops offered by On the Cutting Edge:
--Teaching Geoscience with Service Learning will take place Feb 3-9 and has an application deadline of December 1. Conveners: Dave Mogk, Ed Laine, Suzanne O'Connell, and Cathy Manduca. For more info and application forms visit:
--Understanding the Deep Earth will take place Feb 17-24 and has an application deadline of Dec 20. Conveners: Dave Mogk, Cathy Manduca, and Mike Williams. For more info and application forms visit:
In both cases the workshops are planned to require 2.5 days of effort spread across the scheduled time. This will include synchronous and asynchronous sessions, with presentations and discussions, supporting development of new materials for your teaching.
Application deadlines are fast approaching, so please visit the workshop websites and submit your application on-line. The full schedule of On the Cutting Edge workshops can be viewed at: http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/workshops.html
Thanks in advance for your consideration, and we'll hope to "see" you at these events.

National Association of Geoscience Teachers: Fall Resources and Workshops
From Cathy Manduca, Executive Director, NAGT:
Greetings,
As the academic year gets underway, I am writing to call your attention to new online resources, workshops (for faculty and departments), and other upcoming opportunities. Happy Fall!
New Resources:
- The On the Cutting Edge website includes several new topical modules, about topics including Teaching about Energy, the Hurricane-Climate Connection, the Role of Metacognition in Teaching Geoscience (how an awareness of the learning process can dramatically improve learning), and Teaching Paleontology: http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/index.html
- Our large collection of pedagogic resources on the Pedagogy in Action website includes six new modules, on ConcepTests, Jigsaws, Lecture Tutorials, Structured Academic Controversy, Teaching the Process of Science, and Teaching Urban Students. Each module includes an introduction to the pedagogic method, information on why it is effective, how to use it in your classroom, and examples of teaching activities using the method: http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/library/pedagogies.html
- The Building Strong Geoscience Departments website includes new and expanded resources, particularly related to Curriculum Development and Program Assessment: http://serc.carleton.edu/departments/index.html
Workshops for Individuals and Departments:
- The 2010 On the Cutting Edge Workshop series includes 5 face-to-face workshops, 4 virtual workshops, and 10 partnership workshops (offered in association with other meetings or organizations -- this includes the Follow-on Workshop on Teaching About Energy, to be held in conjunction with the GSA meeting in Portland, application deadline Sept 25): http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/workshops.html
- The Building Strong Geoscience Departments project is initiating a Visiting Workshop Program. Two of our leaders will come to your campus to deliver a workshop for your department, on topics we offer that are of high interest to you. There are two application deadlines Sept 16 and Nov 16: http://serc.carleton.edu/departments/visitingworkshops/index.html
Other Opportunities:
- Lead a Follow-On Workshop: Cutting Edge seeks proposals for one-half or one-day follow-on workshops on topics that have been offered through the "On the Cutting Edge" program in the past. If you would like to bring one of these workshops to a new audience, submit a request for proposal before the Sept 22 deadline: http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/leadership/workshopRFP.html
- Propose a Cutting Edge workshop topic: Cutting Edge is seeking recommendations for workshop topics, submit your ideas before Oct 30 : http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/topic.html
