NABT Workshops

IGELS Course Design Institute
Johnson County Community College
July 21st to 24th, 2025

Science education is an opportunity to cultivate critically-minded and civically-engaged citizens, and several higher education organizations have specifically identified an urgent need for improving scientific literacy and the understanding of the social context of scientific practice.

The IGELS (Improving General Education Life Sciences) Project is working to meet this call by launching a new professional development opportunity for undergraduate educators.

The IGELS Course Design Institute will feature a four-day, summer professional development workshop where participants will engage in a curriculum design process that centers student learning, teaching best practices, and leadership development. 

The in-person component of the IGELS Institute will be held at Johnson County Community College, Overland Park (a suburb of Kansas City), from July 21st to 24th, 2025. The in-person meeting will be followed by bi-monthly support via online meetings taking place over the following calendar year.

Participants will be asked to redesign a component(s) of their course that centers science literacy and social context, with follow-up mechanisms to assess if the redesign was successful.

This opportunity is available for educators and teams based at two-year and four-year institutions. Limited funding is available to support the travel of successful applicants. Accommodations and most meals will be provided for all attendees during the July experience.

For more information and to apply, please visit https://uaa.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6lk8l7uozKAgHtk.

 Space is limited, and applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
