A Project Kaleidoscope 2000 Summer Institute Workshop
THE FUTURE OF PLANT BIOLOGY
Keystone Resort and Conference Center, Keystone, Colorado
July 23 - 26, 2000-Workshop Series C
Where is plant biology undergraduate education headed and what are the major challenges? Plant biology has made incredible advances in the past decade and the way we teach and will teach in this field is changing rapidly. The Future of Plant Biology workshop will include plant biologists working at all levels, from ecosystems to molecules, and is aimed at professional societies as well as academic teams. Participatory workshops and case studies will address a range of topics including: the campus as a classroom, technology and pedagogy in plant biology, integrating field experiences, enhancing the presence of plants in introductory biology, preservice teachers and plants, and efforts of our professional societies to enhance education. The goal of this workshop is to bring together teacher/scholars in all areas of plant biology to envision an exciting future for plants in the undergraduate curriculum.
ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED
* Integrating plants from molecules to ecosystem in Introductory Biology
* Teaching with model plants
* Effective strategies for enhancing learning with information technology
* Roles of professional societies in enhancing plant biology education
* Plant biology for all
