Geology (42)This Phase 3 CCLI project is part of a collaborative that is extending and expanding on the highly successful 'On the Cutting Edge' CCLI-ND program of workshops supporting faculty professional development at all stages of their career.Seventeen workshops are being offered covering emerging as well as mature topics in science and pedagogy, teaching strategies for core courses in the geoscience curriculum, course design, issues faced by early career faculty, and preparation for an academic career. Many of these are multi-day workshops held on college campuses while the 'Course Design' and 'Preparing for an Academic Career' workshops are one-day workshops held at professional meetings. Web resources are also being developed in association with the workshops and are available on The Cutting Edge website. This project is also training new geoscience education reform leaders through a series of Leaders in Training workshops and mentoring programs.Research is being conducted to understand the cycle of educational innovation in the geosciences and the impact of the workshops on geoscience education methodology and effectiveness. The research is addressing four fundamental areas: the nature of the cycle of innovation and its implementation in the geosciences, the specific roles that Cutting Edge activities and resources play in this cycle, the role of discipline-specific professional development in education innovation, and the interplay between the cycle of educational innovation and scientific innovation.

地质学(42)这一第三阶段CCLI项目是一个合作项目的一部分，该项目正在延伸和扩大非常成功的“在最前沿”CCLI-ND项目，该项目支持教师职业生涯的所有阶段的专业发展。提供了17个研讨会，涵盖科学和教育学中新兴和成熟的主题，地球科学课程核心课程的教学策略，课程设计，早期职业教师面临的问题，以及为学术生涯做准备。其中许多是在大学校园举行的为期数天的研讨会，而“课程设计”和“为学术生涯做准备”研讨会是在专业会议上举行的为期一天的研讨会。还在结合讲习班开发网络资源，这些资源可在尖端网站上查阅。该项目还通过培训讲习班和指导方案中的一系列领导人，培训新的地球科学教育改革领导人。正在进行研究，以了解地球科学教育创新的周期以及讲习班对地球科学教育方法和有效性的影响。这项研究涉及四个基本领域：创新周期的性质及其在地球科学中的实施，前沿活动和资源在这一周期中发挥的具体作用，特定学科专业发展在教育创新中的作用，以及教育创新周期和科学创新之间的相互作用。
