Learn, connect and grow at the Oregon Wine Symposium, the Northwest wine industry's premier educational event and trade show.
When complex requests, such as extending deadlines for assignments, are presented, it can be difficult to know how to assess their reasonableness. Much time can be spent analyzing how to proceed. In the end, how to know if the accommodation would actually address a barrier and provide access? In this webinar, this question and propose a framework for considering challenging requests will be covered. Also modeling the proposed framework through the example of extended time for deadlines to provide a concrete example of its use. While the framework is not meant to be a checklist that would turn complex requests into routine decisions, having a structured approach to considering requests can increase confidence in decision-making.

The Tennessee Farm Winegrowers Annual Conference will be held in conjunction with the Pick TN Conference for 2020. The conference will consist of annual business meeting, election of new officers, and a selection of classes and workshops. Classes and workshops may be attended by both members and non-members provided they have registered for the conference. Registration will cover access to all workshops and presentations being presented by the TFWA and Pick TN. This will also include access to the Tradeshow floor, which will host a variety of vendors Thursday and Friday.
Diseased states are typically characterized by the presence or absence of a biomarker. These biomarkers may be general characteristics of the environment (i.e. stiffness, pH) or specific biomacromolecules (i.e. peptides, nucleic acids, proteins, cell receptors). In this seminar, I will discuss synthetic strategies for generating nanoscale hydrogels that recognize and respond to multiple biological stimuli. These multi-responsive nanomaterials are useful for (i) actuating biological signals, (ii) targeting drug delivery, and (iii) facilitating tissue regeneration.
Presenter: John Clegg is currently a postdoctoral fellow in bioengineering in the Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. He is also appointed as a postdoctoral fellow in the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard. John received his Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of South Carolina in 2014, and his masters and doctoral degrees from the University of Texas at Austin (MSE, Biomedical Engineering, 2016, MA, STEM Education, 2018, Ph.D., Biomedical Engineering, 2019).
In his research John designs and synthesizes hydrogels, which achieve targeted drug delivery through a combination of cell hitchhiking and responsiveness to the extracellular environment. He is interested in (1) Developing synthesis methods for generating novel hydrogel materials with precise network structure, as well as (2) Applying cell-material constructs to treat inflammatory disease, autoimmune disease, and cancer.

Victoria College7403 Lone Tree RoadVictoriaTX77905United States
Do you ever feel like you are lost in space in your own classroom, looking for evidence of intelligent life? Workshop participants explore their current practices in the classroom that encourage critical thinking skills. After watching videos of and participating in hands-on examples of critical thinking exercises, workshop participants create their own exercises to ensure higher-level critical thinking among their students.
By the end of this workshop, participants know or are able to:
- Clarify the meaning of critical thinking in higher education and employment environments, including the most recent research about employers’ desire for graduates who possess critical thinking skills.
- Evaluate teaching “scenes” from a selection of film clips and identify common mistakes teachers make when trying to elicit critical thinking responses from students.
- Review and apply the “Seven Valuable Intellectual Traits” identified by the Foundation for Critical Thinking.
- Practice strategies that indicate evidence of critical thinking in the classroom and in assignments.
- Observe and use Discussion Question Requirements, Diversity Day, Daily Exit Cards, the One-Minute Paper, the Interview Assignment, Annotation Station, and Question Fishbowl.
Participants receive a Certificate of Attendance upon completing the workshop.

Discounted registration available through February 14, 2020.
This webinar will discuss targeted coaching skills that both technician instructors and employers need to know to be successful. It will share broad research findings from both studies and interviews about effective coaching principles and methods. It will spotlight two technician education practitioners who have used these principles and methods to develop effective targeted coaching approaches. You will learn how they used design methods and key principles. You will see some models that you can use to develop your own local targeted coaching program. This webinar will build your understanding of the unique needs of diverse learners and help you understand the opportunities for building on the distinct experiences and perspectives of diversity in both classroom and work apprenticeships.
