Western Conf SciEd

A rare opportunity to join colleagues, from across the disciplines of Science, to share experiences and research related to higher education.

@anitawoods She is an absolute star and is clearly getting great mentorship. We were so impressed by our student presenters.

[Western Conf SciEd @WestConf]

@Tutor_Chris Thanks so much for joining us. We really enjoyed your presentation. We are excited to see you in two years.

[Western Conf SciEd @WestConf]

@anitawoods That is great feedback. We had not even thought of the situations where folks might need to change plans last minute. We hope kiddo is feeling better.

We spent the day testing out our online platform with volunteers and participants in preparation for our hybrid event this week—we prioritized accessibility this year. Really glad we are working with a professional platform. Thank you @Accelevents for all your support.

It takes a village!! We would love to hear your thoughts.

[Dr. Nicole Campbell @drsoup09]

I need some help! I am leading a group to run a lighter version of our summer conference. Insights about some of the most effective and engaging online conferences you have attended. This is a science education conference for context. Format? Session type?? Thanks!!

[Western Conf SciEd @WestConf]

Educators, you have gone above and beyond this term—we hope a much needed break is around the corner. We wanted to let you know that we will be hosting WCSE Light 2021, which will provide time and space for reflection and community. More details to follow in January. Take care!

@burnscheadle shares his model of professionalism at #WCSE2019 during the final plenary. His model includes components of "what we do" (competence) AND "who we are" (character)

[Western Science @westernuScience]

In his #WCSE2019 talk "Future-proof Professional identity in the Fourth Industrial Revolution" Burns Cheadle talks about his articles of faith in preparing students for careers. We have unwittingly emphasized developing the Science in place of developing the scientist.

[Western Conf SciEd @WestConf]

#WCSE2019 doesn't stop when the academic program ends!

[Western Conf SciEd @WestConf]

Goal setting practice needs to include consideration of the obstacles we might encounter and how we will navigate them so we can persist in their face #WCSE2019
