Participants will attend two, 4-day workshops during summers, one in 2009 followed by another in 2010, at a regional field station (locations and dates linked below). The intended outcome of participation is that postdocs will design an entire introductory biology course based on learner-centered, scientific teaching prior to assuming their first faculty position. Application is due March 15, 2009.
