The Institute will assist teams of 3-5 faculty and administrators in developing transformative opportunities for Undergraduate Research, Scholarship, and Creativity (URSC) in the arts and humanities. Participants will:
· Create customized plans for their own institutions to enhance URSC in the arts and humanities - in curricula, summer "research" programs, campus symposia, national conferences, and scholarly publications and showcases
· Learn about successful models of URSC developed by and for scholars in the arts and humanities - not simply adapted from the sciences
· Address challenges to student engagement in URSC, such as the need for language skills or other specialized training before beginning scholarly work
· Discover new opportunities for student scholarship in the Digital Humanities, blogs & wikis, designs and compositions, research abroad and in the community, and e-portfolios
· Gain insight into why students mentored in URSC succeed in the areas we value most in the arts and humanities: critical and creative thinking, written and oral communication, intellectual curiosity, and analysis
· Learn how URSC improves retention, especially for students most at-risk academically
· Find out about best practices for mentoring, administering, and funding URSC, particularly in disciplines without external grants available for undergraduate work

Through presentations by local scientists and a field trip into the estuary, East Coast MARE will explore the ecology of local estuaries, how hurricanes affect the ecology, the physics of hurricanes, and why Sandy became a Super Storm. Attendees will learn about different research methods and questions scientists are using to study in the impacts of Sandy on the estuarine ecosystem. Learn about different lessons to use in the classrooms to teach students about Sandy and the potential ecological impacts of such a storm.
This professional development introduces educators to the Okeanos Explorer Education Materials Collection, Volume 2: How Do We Explore? Using the NOAA Ship of exploration Okeanos Explorer as the platform, participants will be guided through lessons targeting innovative modern ocean exploration strategies and the sophisticated instrumentation and equipment used to explore the largely unknown world ocean. Lesson topics include how targets are selected for exploration, mapping techniques, water column exploration, remotely operated vehicles and telepresence technology that enables access to real time ocean exploration. Participants will learn how to use lessons to assist in meeting performance expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards with an eye on science as practice and the principles of engineering design. A tour of the University of Rhode Island’s Inner Space Center where ship to shore communication operations take place will be included during the day.
Interested in incorporating more local environmental science issues and problem-based learning into the classroom? Join East Coast MARE for a training on spatial literacy. In the unit, students are exposed to a problem-based Human Impact adventure in which they practice spatial literacy skills and make informed decisions about development around the Barnegat Bay. While doing this, they also learn a great deal about the bay ecosystem, seagrass biology, satellite imagery, and the processes of science and management. Learn about what this unit can offer, explore the support features for teachers and students, and meet, hear, and work with scientists involved in creating the unit in the field.
In the spirit of "ideas worth spreading," TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is call TEDxLitchfieldED, where x = independently organized TED event. At TEDxLitchfieldED, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx programs, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
This event is open to educators and business professionals. There is a 30$ registration fee and lunch is provided.

Evaluation is more than a requirement for ATE proposals; it’s an essential ingredient for increasing the cohesion and competiveness of a submission. Developing a proposal with an evaluative perspective can help potential grantees avoid common proposal pitfalls, such as writing goals that are too lofty or too simplistic or failing to demonstrate a logical relationship between activities and intended outcomes. In this webinar, presenters will share two tools specifically developed for ATE proposers: a checklist for developing evaluation plans for ATE proposals and a template for creating simple, powerful project logic models. Veteran ATE and NSF personnel will provide additional insights on how to put together a strong proposal.
