Teaching Environmental Geology - Professional development workshop for geoscience faculty: June 2-6, 2012

Teaching Environmental Geology - an On the Cutting Edge Professional Development Workshop for Geoscience Faculty,

June 2 -6 in Bozeman, Montana, with optional pre-workshop field trips

Application deadline: March 1 , 2012

Many faculty teaching at the introductory level use environmental themes and hazards to get their students excited about the geosciences. 

Whether in the form of a stand-alone Environmental Geology or Natural Hazards course or as environmental content integrated into other 

introductory courses, these concepts are an important part of the geoscience education for many students who will never take another course in the sciences.

This workshop will bring together educators from a wide variety of institutional settings and backgrounds with the common goal of sharing ideas 

about improving the pedagogy and environmental geology content of our introductory geoscience courses.

Please pass this information along to anyone you know who teaches Environmental Geology and who would like to be a part of this week-long workshop 

to develop web resources and share best practices.
