Welcome to REEFS 2018

10th REEFS Special Session 
ESA 2018 Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA.
Monday, August 6, 2018: 10:15 AM-11:30 AM

This is an opportunity for you to share a favorite classroom activity or a new teaching idea at any stage of development. Receive feedback on your ideas, share tips and engage in discussion on how your activity may be implemented in different settings. REEFS has been designed for you to share and learn about what your colleagues are doing to engage their undergraduate students using student-active methods. We are especially looking for ideas that help advance the core concepts and competencies embodied in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education.

Session Format: This session is designed for you to build or enhance lesson plans or activities with a peer working group. Each lesson or idea will be presented by the author in a small group at a roundtable with up to 9 other participants. There will be time for each author to describe their lesson idea. Then discussions will follow to provide feedback and ideas regarding the core concepts addressed, methodology, misconceptions, assessment or educational extensions. Presenters will have 25 minutes: about 10-15 mins to present their ideas and have 10-15 minutes for feedback.

Presenters are expected to bring at least 10 copies of your teaching material for participants. Please be informed that no AV or WiFi will be available.

This session is organized in part, to encourage submissions to EcoEdDL. We invite you to submit your resource so that it can be shared with the ecology education community.

PLEASE NOTE: There is no fee for the REEFS Special Session but all presenters are expected to be registered attendees of the Annual Meeting.
