Webinars
The TAM Network tries to schedule informative webinars on experiences with teaching the Conservation Standards in academic settings. Please see below for more information on some of our previous webinars.
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Dr. Arlyne Johnson shares lessons learned from her Conservation Planning course at the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison. As a core requirement of the Professional Master’s Program in Environmental Conservation, Arlyne’s 8-week course helps form the backbone of a blended curriculum designed to train conservation leaders in practical interdisciplinary skills through campus learning and remote experiences.

Innovative Online Formats for Academic Courses in the OS
Dr. Heather Eves with Virginia Tech and Johns Hopkins shares her experiences using a new model for teaching the Conservation Standards, which involves learning the steps of the standards in the context of a case study on horseshoe crabs. This process-oriented approach provides a roadmap that allows students to focus on process rather than content.
In the latter half of the course, student teams apply the Conservation Standards to a real-world conservation project for added practice and experience.

Our Collaborators
Every organization, agency, project, and individual has its own preferred set of terms. There is no right answer – the most important thing is that the members of your project team and the people with whom you work have a clear and common understanding of whatever terms you choose to use.
