This program funds for three years the portion of the new Distinguished Speakers Program of the National Association of Geology Teachers (NAGT) aimed at enhancing the abilities of faculty to teach undergraduate geology effectively and innovatively at both introductory and upper levels. While many visiting speaker programs focus on research, the NAGT Distinguished Speakers Program focuses on geoscience teaching and learning. A visit by a NAGT speaker will give faculty members in the host department an opportunity to learn first-hand from an exemplary and enthusiastic geoscience educator about innovative curricula and techniques that work in the classroom, laboratory, and field. Grant funds will partially underwrite these faculty enhancement visits. They involve application to the NAGT Speakers Bureau (c/o Barbara Tewksbury) outlining a list of desired speakers and the reasons for interest in the host department. If specific agreement is reached, a visit of roughly two days including lectures, workshops, and discussions is set up, and followup activities aimed at facilitating the desired change are scheduled. The program covers most costs of the speaker; costs of local transportation, food, lodging, and materials are borne by the host institution.

该计划为全国地质教师协会（NAGT）新的杰出演讲者计划的一部分提供了三年的资金，旨在提高教师在入门和上层有效和创新地教授本科地质学的能力。 虽然许多客座演讲者计划侧重于研究，但NAGT杰出演讲者计划侧重于地球科学的教学和学习。 NAGT演讲者的访问将使主办部门的教职员工有机会从一位模范和热情的地球科学教育家那里直接了解在课堂，实验室和现场工作的创新课程和技术。 赠款资金将部分承担这些教师增强访问。 他们涉及申请NAGT发言人局（c/o芭芭拉图克斯伯里）概述了理想的发言人名单和在东道国部门感兴趣的原因。 如果达成具体协议，将安排大约两天的访问，包括讲座、讲习班和讨论，并安排旨在促进所需变革的后续活动。 该计划涵盖演讲者的大部分费用;当地交通，食品，住宿和材料的费用由主办机构承担。
