2013 Workshop: Bringing NSF MARGINS Research Into the Undergraduate Curriculum
September 18-20, 2013
Carleton College, Northfield, MN
This workshop is designed for the mini lesson authors that have been developing course materials as an opportunity to review and refine mini-lessons so that they are ready for classroom testing. These materials are designed to bring the rich data sets resulting from the four MARGINS initiatives to the classroom in a way that is accessible and exciting to students.
- Complete the development, review and refine the content and assessment strategies for each set of mini-lessons.
- Place the mini-lessons into course frameworks and mock up potential coherent course segments.
- Develop the pilot testing plan including matrix and timeline for field testing each lesson
- Identify what assessment data and reflections each pilot tester will provide to the Geoprisms office
- Define the process for providing assessment data and reflections to the project
- Develop a preliminary plan for disseminating mini-lessons to the community
