Yolanda S. George, AAAS Deputy Director, Education Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology: A Call to Action

WHY CHANGE? WHY NOW?  Biology breakthrough discoveries have changed the basic nature of the questions asked  New & emerging technologies are changing the ways key questions are addressed  New educational approaches are emerging based on evolving theories of learning and new technologies  Increasing need for both broadly educated, integrative biology professionals, as well as biologically literate citizens

NSF BIO-EHR Working Group charge: 1.Examine and address key issues in biology undergraduate education 2.Recommend strategy and actions

Strategy developed by BIO-EHR Working Group: 1.Conversations – listen for shared vision and the changes needed to achieve it 2.Big Conference – crystallize initiative and partnerships 3.Report – articulate the vision, synthesize previous efforts; recommend changes needed & roles; address sustainability 4.Implementation – make investments; implement commitments; improve communication; leverage feedback loops Approved by a joint meeting of the BIO Advisory Committee and the EHR Advisory Committee in November 2006

NSF supported regional conversations during – AAAS facilitation: 211 participants from… community colleges, PUIs, MSIs, major R1 universities, museums, science centers, education organizations, other federal agencies, National Academies, field stations, professional societies… 2008 San Francisco Denver Chicago Boston Atlanta Washington Image created with Google Maps
