It was my pleasure -that was one of the more enjoyable talks I've been able to give in awhile. I posted the video that I showed on our FTP site in case anyone wants to see it or use it in their classes: ftp://ftp.ig.utexas.edu/outgoing/jaming/
Cheers, Jamin

STATEMENT OF TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
March 27, 2008 - 2:34pm — ellinskCurrently, I am collaborating with Hilary Olson, Eleanour Snow and Marsha Willis to prepare in-service science teachers through the TXESS Revolution project, a five-year professional development program to teach geoscience from the Earth system science perspective. I use current pedagogical approaches designed to foster critical thinking and an understanding of the scientific process. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the creation of enthusiastic and informed Earth Science teachers who will be able to transfer their knowledge of our planet and its processes to their own students.

Become a Native to Place
October 25, 2008 - 1:49pm — ellinskTwo weeks ago Michael Arratia and I attended the annual SACNAS Conference in Salt Lake City. SACNAS (Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science) has existed for 35 years, but membership has exploded in recent years. The mission of SACNAS is to encourage Chicano/Latino and Native American students to pursue graduate education and obtain the advanced degrees necessary for science research, leadership, and teaching careers at all levels. The annual conference includes precollege teacher training workshops, and opportunities for undergrduate and graduate students to present the results of their work.
