    This one-day workshop provides an introduction to POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) and explores the benefits of this approach to active learning in the classroom. Participants will experience a POGIL-based learning environment, analyze activities to understand how guided inquiry is structured in a POGIL classroom, and consider classroom facilitation and other issues related to the implementation of POGIL. This is a pre-conference workshop in conjunction with the 2012 American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting.

    1-day workshop for people (mostly within driving distance) who want to learn more about POGIL. Current roster includes ~6 summer research students, ~4 college staff, 5+ non-chemistry faculty. Thus, slightly more emphasis on writing than a normal 1-day. Other attendees are welcome if space is left.

    This year's meeting will bring together about 50 people who are taking leading roles in moving STEM education at the undergraduate and high school levels toward a more student-centered and process-oriented endeavor. As in the past, the PNM will include presentations and reports on major recent developments within the Project, a poster session for attendees to share their experiences and work, and free time for planned and impromptu meetings and gatherings.

    A one day POGIL/SWH chemistry Laboratory workshop for general chemistry and organic chemistry instructors will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2012 at Iowa State University, Department of Chemistry, Ames, Iowa in Rooms 1227 and 1207, 1208 Hach Hall. Faculty from two-year institutions, universities and colleges are invited to attend. POGIL (Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) and SWH (the Science Writing Heuristic) are two complementary approaches to laboratory work that follow a three-stage learning cycle and involve active learning and guided inquiry. In response to a question posed by the instructor (POGIL) or questions developed by the students (SWH) students work in teams to gather data from experiments run under a variety of conditions. They examine the pooled data from which they construct theories and make claims that can be backed up by the experimental results. Group discussions, reflective writing, and in some cases additional experiments are used to further develop the concepts. Participants in this workshop will examine model POGIL and SWH experiments, work in groups with student-generated data in a simulated laboratory setting, do a "wet hands-on" laboratory experiment in groups, and write a sample POGIL/SWH lab report. The goal is to have participants understand the main components of POGIL and SWH approach to laboratory work and to gain insights into the value of group work. URLs: http://www.pogil.org and (http://avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/SWH/homepage.htm)
    An Intermediate POGIL/SWH component of the workshop will be offered for participants who have implemented POGIL/SWH with their students. Participants in the intermediate component of the workshop will work in groups to convert existing and currently used laboratory activities to POGIL or SWH experiments.
    The workshop will be held 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Workshop participants should bring copies of their laboratory manual for review and analysis. Registration, lunch, and materials are paid for by the grant. Participants register for this workshop through the POGIL web site: http://www.pogil.org/events
    
    Professors K. A. Burke and Thomas J. Greenbowe are the workshop coordinators. Site contact information: 3051 Gilman Hall, Department of Chemistry, Ames, Iowa 50011; e-mail tgreenbo@iastate.edu, tel. 515-294-4050 and 515-294-5503.
    
    This workshop is being funded by an Iowa STEM Articulation initiative grant. The POGIL and SWH projects have received funding from the National Science Foundation.
    
    A block of rooms is being held at the Country Inn & Suites, 2605 SE 16th Street, Ames, Iowa for Friday night July 15. (515) 233-3935 Group Code: TBA.

    Reporting out, and other formative assessments, enable a teacher to take stock of student understanding, control the pace of group work, uncover student misconceptions, and make needed adjustments within a lesson. This webinar will cover ways to effectively facilitate that process, give examples of reporting methods, and also help teachers consider ways to link the POGIL activity with additional learning tasks (i.e. - homework, next lesson, past lesson, etc.).
    
    Presenter is Leigh Foy.
