  1. Sharing Our Success:Preparing Teacher Quality (TQ) Program Participants to present their final assignments in poster formatKathy Lee Sutphin, Scientific Communication Afternoon Seminar, BIOL 601B/CHEM 601E, College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences. UMBCAudience: Participants in the 2007-08 Teacher Quality in Biology and Chemistry Programs( ~28 Maryland secondary school teachers enrolled in UMBC’s Graduate School) MATERIALS TIMELINE ABSTRACT • This is where you list all the resources needed to begin and complete the unit plan. • This poster presentation incorporates the”Guidelines for Unit Plan Poster” originally prepared by Dr. John Murdock and given to all TQ program participants during the Summer 2007 laboratory courses. Posters will be printed for all TQ Program participants who meet the printing deadline of April 1, 20081, for the submission of poster files to Tim Ford in the UMBC Illustrative Services in the Department of Biological Sciences at UMBC (tford1@umbc.edu). Poster boards and push pins will be provided at the April 19th event. • (1Please note that this deadline has be revised and is earlier than the one given in the Poster Presentation Assignment over the summer.) • Many posters include an abstract to introduce the project as the beginning element. Participant abstracts are often published in a program guide to help attendees identify posters of interest. An abstracts should be a brief (250 or 300 words) summary of the poster. • This poster presentation incorporates the”Guidelines for Unit Plan Poster” originally prepared by Dr. John Murdock as given to all Teacher Quality (TQ) program participants during the Summer 2007 laboratory courses. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This where you identify what you expect students to be able to do by the end of the unit you have planned. It is important to include what content standards will be covered. The purpose of the scientific communication seminar is to ensure that participants in the 2007-2008 TQB and TQC Programs can produce quality posters of their unit plans, which is part of the final assignment for BIOL 601D and CHEM 601E. It is hoped that the TQ Program participants will post their posters again and/or find other ways to share the knowledge they have gained through the TQ Programs. TQ Program Participant County RepresentationFall 2007 2007-2008 TQ PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS UNIT OVERVIEW • This is may be one of the most important elements of your poster and is where you provide a concise and informative overview of your unit plan. This overview will serve as a valuable resource to teachers who wish to replicate the unit plan and must include details about: • Pre-lab activities • Laboratory exercises • Follow-up lessons • Data analysis TQB - Cohort 4 ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION This is where you explain how you will evaluate the objectives identified under goals and objectives. TQ Program administrators will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of this scientific communication seminar by the quality of the posters presented by TQ Program participants on Saturday, April 19, 2008 at the gala Share Our Success Seminar and Poster Session at the techcenter@UMBC. Please plan to invite your supervisors, colleagues and other invited guests to truly share in your TQ success on April 19th. Schedule of TQ 2007-2008 Classroom Observations to date TQC - Cohort 1 PREREQUISITES This is where you summarize what students must be able to do prior to the beginning the unit lesson. It is important to include what concepts have to be mastered in advance to accomplish the lesson objectives. Also, it is critical to identify all laboratory techniques that the students need to practice prior to carrying out the laboratory exercises. Participants in this scientific communication seminar must have successfully completed the preparation and summer lab coursework for their respective TQ Programs. To experience the greatest benefit, participants should have a good understanding of inquiry teaching in the science classroom. All participants should have completed draft outlines of their unit plan and bring both paper and electronic copies of their assignments to the October 16, 2007 seminar. Students will practice the computer and software techniques they need for creating a large, one-sheet poster during the Scientific Communication Afternoon Seminar.
