Call for Undergraduate Teaching Resources
The Education Committee is extending a call for materials relevant to
teaching an undergraduate curriculum in toxicology. Recently the Education
Committee has been directing efforts toward identifying ways that SOT
can have more impact at the undergraduate level and convened an Undergraduate
Task Force of the Education Committee last year. The members of that group
reported that little information suitable for development of undergraduate
classes is available on the web. A service that SOT can provide is a resource
collection, which fits well with the SOT long-range plan goal of increasing
student awareness of, and pursuit of careers in, toxicology.
Course material might range from sets of completely articulated instruction
(such as a laboratory manual), to an individual exercise, or to detailed
syllabi that address varying areas of toxicology using innovative teaching
techniques. The Education Committee will openly solicit submissions from
the membership, classify them into subject areas, and select the highest
quality materials for inclusion on the SOT Web site. The intent is not
to promote any particular text or provide other avenues for financial
gain. Authors will provide permission to SOT to publish the materials
for open access on the SOT Web site. The Education Committee will designate
a review group for the submissions.
Please send electronic copies of your materials to Betty
Eidemiller by August 1, 2007.
