Early Career Geoscience Faculty Workshop: Teaching, Research, and Managing
Your Career
*July 22-26, 2018 with optional trip to NSF on Friday, July 27*
on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park, MD

*Application deadline: March 16. 2018*

If you are in your first three years of a permanent academic position,
please apply to join us for a multi-day workshop in a stimulating and
resource-rich environment where you will participate in sessions on topics
including effective teaching strategies, course design, establishing a
research program in a new setting, working with research students,
balancing professional and personal responsibilities, and time management.
The workshop is offered by NAGT On the Cutting Edge professional
development program for geoscience faculty with support from the National
Science Foundation, Geological Society of America and American Geophysical
Union.

WORKSHOP GOALS:

   - Learn about setting course goals, strategies for active learning, and
   methods for assessment.
   - Share ideas and strategies for teaching courses.
   - Consider successful strategies for maintaining an active research
   program and advising/supervising undergraduate and/or graduate research
   students.
   - Discuss life as an early-career faculty member and explore ways to
   balance teaching, research, and service responsibilities.
   - Leave with examples of assignments and activities for various courses,
   strategies for balancing competing demands, a support network of other
   early career faculty, and a plan for managing your early career as an
   academic.

The registration fee is estimated to be $1250 ($1200 for NAGT members)
which will cover the workshop, accommodations on the University of Maryland
campus, and most meals. Participants will pay for some meals, and
participants or their home institutions must provide transportation to and
from the workshop. In cases where the cost of attending this workshop would
cause financial hardship, you may apply for a stipend to help defray these
costs. Ask your department or university for funds to attend as well – many
have been quite supportive. The registration fee will be due in May after
notification of acceptance into the workshop.

Our National Science Foundation grant provides funding for the remainder of
the operational costs of the workshop. To be supported by these funds, a
participant must be either a US citizen, a permanent resident, or in the
employ of a US institution. If you don't meet these requirements and are
interested in participating in this workshop at your own expense, please
indicate this on the application form.

*"I’ve gained so much in terms of both concrete things to implement (lesson
activities, strategic planning tools, etc.) and a holistic appreciation for
this career.  I can totally do this, and this workshop instilled that
confidence.”*

*"The workshop totally changed my view of teaching from teacher-oriented to
student-oriented. It's no more what I want to teach but what students need
to learn or take away from the course. This is the essential point that I
will keep in mind when I design course goals, syllabi, in-class activities,
assignments, and exams."*

*"I am heading back to my institution feeling that I am better equipped to
be a more efficient and effective teacher, researcher, colleague, father,
husband, and community member."*
