ESA has endorsed the Four-Dimensional Ecology Education (4DEE) Framework. The 4DEE framework is a set of recommendations for ecology curricula that cover both content and skills. Aligning your teaching with the 4DEE framework can help promote student learning outcomes related to both the breadth and depth of ecology. This workshop will have three parts. In Part I you will learn about 4DEE. In Part II you will work with a tool that helps evaluate the alignment of your teaching with 4DEE. In Part III, based on what you discover in Part II, you will discuss your teaching alignment. This will include sharing your best practices with others, as well as discovering new ways to align your teaching with the 4DEE Framework. For more information on the 4DEE framework please visit esa.org/4DEE/ • Objectives for workshop participants:
• Understand the 4DEE framework
• Evaluate the alignment of your teaching with 4DEE
• Share your best practices
• Discover ways to align your teaching with 4DEE
• Foster a network of support in advancing ecology education
