Ethel D. Stanley bioquest.org/ethel-d-stanley/ BioQUEST Curriculum Consortium ethel.stanley@bioquest.org 3843 Glenhurst Avenue, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 (952) 546-5318 Personal Statement In our increasingly networked and global society, I am actively committed to transformative education in which learners pose problems, develop and use multidisciplinary approaches to solve problems, and engage in peer review of their products. Our students need to be more than consumers of silo-based disciplines and our educators could effect change through the collaborative development of open curricula that embrace the strengths of contemporary learners. To these ends, I have worked as director of BioQUEST, past president of ACUBE, past editor of the Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, past chair of the BSA Teaching Section, and a consultant on numerous undergraduate NSF and HHMI projects. I have focused my efforts on undergraduate science curricula, faculty development, and national community college outreach to include modeling and simulation (The BioQUEST Library), bioinformatics (BEDROCK), quantitative biology (NUMBERS COUNT), cyberlearning for community college faculty (C3 Cyberlearning), and extensive development of investigative case based learning (ICBL) with co-developer Margaret Waterman both here and abroad (LifeLines, ScienceCaseNet, IUBS BioED, and Singapore’s NIE) through both funded projects and publications.
