\u00a0TEE RCN Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Catalyze the production of exemplar curricular materials and tools that are aligned to the 4DEE framework.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Foster multidimensional learning to modernize ecology education towards creating a STEM workforce literate about our changing ecological systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Leverage connections to existing networks relevant to ecology education that will accelerate the adoption of the 4DEE framework.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    TEE presents an opportunity to explore the unique role of a disciplinary society in encouraging innovation and motivating a network of core volunteer leaders and distributed faculty in multiple institutions and across multiple networks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    By utilizing a network approach to foster curricular change, TEE seeks to understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. How the structure and power of networks can catalyze and accelerate innovation when championed by a disciplinary society<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. How resources, expertise, and networks are utilized or leveraged<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. How network relationships and interactions can be sustained over time<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
