A partnership of the University of South Carolina, the South Carolina Geological Survey, the Mining Association of South Carolina, and the South Carolina Earth Science Teachers Association will: 1. Mobilize, develop, and disseminate those resources available in South Carolina which will strengthen the teaching of earth science at all levels; 2. Develop a cadre of fifteen geographically distributed Earth Science Teacher Resource Agents capable of distributing these and other resources to their peers; 3. Implement a peer education and support system utilizing the Earth Science Teacher Resource Agents. This program will respond to three broad needs which have been identified among the state's earth science teachers: 1. South Carolina mandates that earth science be taught in the eighth grade, and the state has established earth science as one of three broad areas of science which will be tested as a "basic skill"; 2. South Carolina's earth science teachers are under-prepared with respect to knowledge of content, teaching strategies based on "inquiry", and recent advances in science education; 3. There exists no mechanism to mobilize and disseminate human and material resources for the earth science classroom, or to identify and develop such resources where they are needed. Cost sharing by the partners will total 73% of the National Science Foundation funding.

南卡罗来纳大学、南卡罗来纳州地质调查局、南卡罗来纳州矿业协会和南卡罗来纳州地球科学教师协会的合作伙伴关系将： 1. 动员、开发和传播南卡罗来纳州现有的资源，以加强各级地球科学的教学； 2. 培养一支由 15 名分布在各地的地球科学教师资源代理人组成的骨干队伍，能够将这些资源和其他资源分配给同行； 3. 利用地球科学教师资源代理实施同伴教育和支持系统。 该计划将满足该州地球科学教师已确定的三大广泛需求： 1. 南卡罗来纳州规定在八年级教授地球科学，该州已将地球科学确定为三大科学领域之一，将作为“基本技能”进行测试； 2.南卡罗来纳州的地球科学教师在内容知识、基于“探究”的教学策略以及科学教育的最新进展方面准备不足； 3. 没有为地球科学课堂调动和分配人力和物力资源的机制，也没有在需要的地方确定和开发此类资源的机制。 合作伙伴分摊的费用将占美国国家科学基金会资助的 73%。
