The principle of regulation is key to understanding biological processes at different scales from the molecular- to the ecosystem-level. During the workshop, we will investigate how regulatory mechanisms can be used as an overarching framework for introductory undergraduate biology courses across subject areas. Participants will be introduced to free, interactive teaching resources that enhance student understanding of regulation in genes and ecological communities. Participants will select either lactase gene regulation or trophic cascades for exploring classroom-ready materials and planning their own implementation. Educators will conclude the workshop with a shared understanding of principles that can be applied across introductory biology. 

Facilitators
Kristine Grayson and John Moore

Audience
This workshop is targeted for undergraduate educators who teach at 2- or 4-year institutions or dual-credit instructors, and high school educators who teach advanced biology courses (AP, IB, etc.) The workshop will primarily demonstrate activities for in-person learning, with notes for how to adapt these to hybrid or online settings. 

Details

• The workshop will be hosted via Zoom meeting.
• Our workshops actively engage participants and often feature small group work in breakout rooms to build community, foster discussion, and model classroom practice.
• Workshop attendees will receive a certificate of participation and access to the free BioInteractive resources modeled in the workshop.

Accessibility
Live transcript will be available in the main Zoom meeting room. If you require live transcription in the breakout rooms, or any other accommodations in order to fully participate in the workshop, please indicate this on the registration form.
