Greetings GeoEd community, You are invited to apply to join a cross-disciplinary learning community of 25 undergraduate field educators interested in supporting students’ development of sense of belonging in their field courses through learning, reflective practice, and problem-solving with others. In this group, participants will explore how to apply promising practices that have emerged from research from the Belonging in Field Education project <https://belonginginthefield.com/> both in their own teaching and to co-create materials for other faculty to use in similar efforts. To apply, please complete this short application form <https://oregonstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7OEWPPPyNWJHLtc>. We will start reviewing applications on August 11, 2023 and make final notifications about selections by August 25th. We invite applications from faculty and program directors teaching and guiding field courses in biology and geoscience disciplines, a range of formats (e.g., residential field courses, campus-based field courses) and from a range of institution types (e.g., community college, private/independent field stations, MSI, PUI, R1). To support their time and effort, participants will receive a $1,000 (USD) stipend for complete participation. Please see attached one-pager for more details. Visit our website (https://belonginginthefield.com/) for more information about the Belonging in Field Education project.
