EDUCATION & OUTREACH WORKSHOP PACKAGE

One 10’ x 10’ booth available to qualified education and public outreach institutions* that present a full or half-day workshop as part of the Educational and Outreach Forum to be held at Botany & Plant Biology 2007 in Chicago on July 7-8.

The Education and Outreach Forum is in its sixth year and is geared to K-16 educators. The sessions and workshops provide a means for participants to explore novel approaches to integrating plants into the classroom and to reach out and broaden participation in science. With a variety of formats from discussions to workshops, the Forum is a must for teachers and also for researchers who are interested in making their results accessible to students of biology at all levels. The global significance of plants continues to grow. It is therefore vital that plant scientists and their professional societies work to ensure that plants are represented in the undergraduate and graduate curriculum, as well as in science outreach initiatives. K-12 educators from the Chicago area who attend the Forum will be able to earn Continuing Educational Units for their participation.

Workshop topics presented by education and public outreach institutions at previous Forums include: Scientific Inquiry through Plants: Developing New Inquiry Units, Techniques of Digital Image Enhancement for Teaching and Research, Integrating Digital Imaging Into the Laboratory Curriculum, Wisconsin Fast Plants, Using the Original and Newly Improved Versions of C-Fern® in Inquiry-based Teaching, Developing a Hands-on Distance Education Laboratory in Nonmajors General Biology, and Strategies for Guiding Student Investigations.

If your non-profit organization is interested in participating in this special program, please submit your workshop proposal at the Conference Workshop Submission site (Now Closed). Space is available on a first come, first served basis and is limited to eight (8) workshop proposals.

Request to participate does not guarantee acceptance. For more information about the workshops see Botany 2006’s website: www.2006botanyconference.org/workshops/index.php
