摘要自2007年联合专家小组关于扩大参与的特刊以来的十年里，为吸引新的声音进入地球科学领域做了大量工作，来自代表性不足的群体获得地球科学学位的学生人数有所增加。然而，增长的速度还不够大，不足以让地球科学人口统计学代表更广泛的社会。要加快增长速度，需要在三个领域广泛采用以研究为基础的教育实践：吸引不同群体的学生进入地球科学，支持他们完成毕业，并为他们的职业成功做好准备。这一吸引-支持-准备框架建立在以前工作的基础上，这些工作审查了一些项目，这些项目成功地增加了坚持地球科学的代表不足群体的学生数量，以及来自许多背景下的教职员工的经验。通过提供对大量资源、模型和策略的访问来吸引、支持和准备学生，教地球网络门户网站使采用有效实践变得更容易。该网站还允许教员、项目、部门和教育界共同推进围绕扩大参与的问题，使个人能够在其他人的工作基础上发展，而不是从头开始。通过提供一个反馈循环，将教育研究和教师经验的新贡献添加到社区知识库中，该网站在教育研究和实践之间建立了联系。
Abstract In the decade since the 2007 JGE special issue on broadening participation, much work has been done to draw new voices into the geosciences, and the number of students from underrepresented groups graduating with geoscience degrees has grown. However, the rate of increase is not yet large enough that geoscience demographics represent the broader society. Accelerating the rate of increase requires widespread adoption of research-based educational practices across three areas: attracting a diverse group of students to the geosciences, supporting them through graduation, and preparing them for career success. This attract-support-prepare framework builds on previous work that examined programs that have been successful in increasing the numbers of students from underrepresented groups persisting in the geosciences, as well as the experiences of faculty from a number of contexts. The Teach the Earth web portal makes adoption of impactful practices easier by providing access to extensive resources, models, and strategies to attract, support, and prepare students. The website also allows faculty, programs, departments, and the education community to move forward together on issues surrounding broadening participation by enabling individuals to build on the work of others instead of starting from scratch. By providing a feedback loop in which new contributions of education research and faculty experience are added to the community knowledge base, the website creates a link between education research and practice.
