Genetics Society of America
Education plays a vital role at every career stage. That’s why GSA has partnered with organizations that are dedicated to providing tools and programs for students and faculty alike. From education workshops to classroom materials, a range of resources enable members of our scientific community to share, collaborate, and learn together, strengthening our collective network and skills.
Primers in GENETICS make it easier for instructors to use cutting-edge research to demonstrate core competencies in the classroom.
Many instructors want to use effective, evidence-based methods in their classrooms. But sometimes they need help getting started with these techniques. The Promoting Active Learning and Mentoring (PALM) network is helping to close this gap by providing grants to connect faculty and postdocs with mentors in active learning methods.
CBE-Life Sciences Education (LSE) publishes peer-reviewed articles covering a breadth of life science education topics at the K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels, making it a valuable resource for educators across many levels and disciplines.
Looking for a reliable way to develop your undergraduate classes? Check out the Genetics Learning Framework, a list of vetted core concepts and learning objectives compiled by the GSA Education Committee.
Are you looking for inspiration for your genetics course? GSA PREP is a collection of laboratory and in-class exercises that use evidence-based teaching methods. Each of these resources was peer-reviewed and fits into the Genetics Learning Framework.
