Are you applying for an NSF CAREER award? Successful CAREER proposals are expected to demonstrate creative and effective integration of research and education plans. In this workshop for junior faculty & postdocs in science, engineering & mathematics, recent CAREER awardees will discuss how to plan a proposal and OVPR, the Science Center and the Sheridan Center, will present resources on effective integration of research, teaching & outreach for writing an education plan. RSVP by noon on Monday, March 10th to reserve a place at this catered lunch.

Join us at the Sheridan Center to hear guest faculty from various institutions share their experiences as a faculty member, and their career paths that led to their academic positions. Cheryl Schnitzer is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Stonehill College, where she teaches general, environmental and physical chemistry. She holds a Ph.D. from Tufts University and a B.A. from Skidmore College. Lunch will be provided. RSVP to reserve a place at this session. Please register even if the event is currently fully subscribed, as there may be cancellations that would enable you to attend.

We learn best when our minds are alert, focused, and calm. In this workshop led by Senior Lecturer Tori Smith (Hispanic Studies), we will explore practices—and some of the science that supports them—that help students "tune" their minds for better language learning.

Rhetorical Practice: Teaching as Persuasive Communication. Open only to registered participants.

Case studies engage students and promote their interest in the subject through an inquiry-based approach to learning. Case-based learning also allows students to practice problem solving skills. Come to this workshop to learn how to create and teach with case studies. We will discuss what makes a good case study, how to promote group work, and what learning outcomes are possible. RSVP at sheridan.brown.edu.

What roles do genders play in teaching and learning in your classroom? Gail Cohee (Gender & Sexuality Studies, Director of Sarah Doyle Women’s Center) will lead a brown-bag discussion on how gender can affect your classroom dynamics and how this can influence your role as a teacher and a mentor to students. She will also explore the changing roles and perspectives on gender among students today. RSVP at sheridan.brown.edu to reserve a place.

Society suffers when scientists and engineers keep away from policy debates, but their language of scholarly discourse can be ineffective in communicating with the public. Learn ways to approach this problem in a discussion led by Cornelia Dean, a science writer and former science editor of The NY Times, and author of Am I Making Myself Clear?, a guide for researchers. RSVP for this brown-bag discussion for faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students at sheridan.brown.edu.

Teachers are primarily communicators, and reflection on rhetorical practices promotes better engagement and communication with students. Lindsay Goss (Theatre Arts and Performance Studies) will introduce techniques to help improve your classroom communication.
