Four-Day Workshops on K-14 Education for Geoscientists

0085543明天PI和同事将举办三个为期4天的K-14教育年度研讨会，重点是招募来自全国各地的地球科学家参加。 他们将开发一系列后续活动（调查访谈，通讯和基于网络的资源），这些活动将激励，通知和维持K-14地球科学教育的研讨会校友网络。 在这个为期三年的项目中，至少有150名科学家和教育工作者将参加这个网络。 拟议项目的目标是：建立和维持一支由知识渊博的地球科学家组成的国家骨干队伍，他们可以作为有效科学教育的倡导者和领导者，也可以作为参与改善K-14地球科学教育的科学同事的榜样;加强和提高目前教育活动的有效性（即将）在地球科学界进行;并为活跃在K-14教育中的地球科学家提供机会，展示他们的工作并与教育工作者和其他参与教育的科学家建立联系。

0085543MorrowThe PI and associates will conduct three annual 4-day workshops on K-14 education, with a focus on recruiting geoscientists from around the nation to participate. They will develop a collection of follow-up activities (surveys & interviews, newsletter, and web-based resources) that will motivate, inform, and sustain a network of workshop alumni in K-14 geoscience education. Over the course of this three-year project at least 150 scientists and educators will participate in this network. The goals of the proposed project are: to build and maintain a national cadre of well informed geoscientists who can act as advocates and leaders for effective science education, and also as role models for scientific colleagues who become involved in improving K-14 geoscience education; to strengthen and increase the effectiveness of the education activities presently (and soon-to-be) underway in the geoscience community; and to provide geoscientists who are active in K-14 education with an opportunity to showcase their work and network with educators and other scientists involved in education.
