The California Earth Science Academy

加州地球科学院（CESA）将为4-12年级的教师提供全面的地球科学概念培训计划（60%地质学，15%天文学，15%气象学，10%海洋学）和教学策略。为期四周的暑期工作坊将分别招收36名和30名教师，分别来自SJSU和CSU-San Bernardino。教师将从这两个地点周围的县中挑选。在该课程中获得的研究生学分是自然科学/地球科学硕士学位的一个组成部分。从以前的夏季讲习班中选出的30名教师将成为领导教师，随后将为远离科罗拉多州立大学校园的同龄人提供讲习班。夏季讲习班强调地球科学的内容和教学方法，以及实地考察和实践活动。学年跟进包括短期工作坊、课堂支援、实地考察，以及透过cisa - net进行沟通。领导教师在参加第一个暑假的领导活动后，在第二个暑假的活动中发挥积极的作用。领导教师将在CESA项目小额补助金和LEAs的支持下为他们的同龄人举办讲习班。该项目的PI是来自SJSU的Ellen Metzger博士。费用分摊相当于NSF奖金的14%。

The California Earth Science Academy (CESA) will provide a comprehensive training program in earth science concepts (60% geology, 15% astronomy, 15% meteorology, 10% oceanography) and instructional strategies for teachers of grades 4-12. Four week summer workshops will enroll 36 and 30 teachers as SJSU and CSU-San Bernardino respectively. Teachers will be selected from the counties around these two sites. Graduate credits earned in the program are an integral part of an MA degree in Natural Science/Geoscience. Thirty teachers, selected from previous summer workshops will be Leader Teachers and subsequently offer workshops to peers far removed from any CSU campus. The summer workshops emphasize earth science content and pedagogy along with field trips and hands-on activities. Academic year follow- up includes short workshops, classroom support, field trips, and communications via CESA-NET. Leader Teachers will take an active role in the second summer's activities after participating in leadership activities the first summer. The Leader Teachers will conduct workshops for their peers supported by CESA project mini-grants and LEAs. The PI for the project is Dr. Ellen Metzger from SJSU. Cost sharing equals 14% of the NSF award.
