This session provides faculty an opportunity to learn about favorite classroom activities from colleagues and to learn about what they are doing to engage their undergraduate students using student-active methods. Instructors at all levels of experience are encouraged to participate. This session will break into small groups so that participants can discuss teaching challenges and strategies.

Goals:

• Learn about what colleagues are doing to engage their undergraduate students using active learning methods.
• Improve classroom activities via the exchange of constructive feedback.
• Foster a network of support in advancing ecology education.
• Encourage digital publishing of teaching resources through ESA’s EcoEd Digital Library and Teaching Issues and Experiments in Ecology (TIEE).
• Promote the recommendations of the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education Call to Action.

Participants include instructors and educators at all levels of teaching.
