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）这个第三阶段的CCLI项目是一个合作的一部分，是延伸和扩大非常成功的“在前沿”CCLI-ND计划的讲习班支持教师专业发展在他们的职业生涯的各个阶段。17个讲习班正在提供涵盖新兴的以及成熟的主题在科学和教育学，教学战略的核心课程在地球科学课程，课程设计，早期职业教师所面临的问题，并为学术生涯做准备。 其中许多是在大学校园举行的为期多日的研讨会，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。 还与讲习班一起开发了网络资源，可在The Cutting Edge网站上查阅。 该项目还通过一系列“领导人培训讲习班”和辅导方案，培训新的地球科学教育改革领导人，并开展研究，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效果的影响。 该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，尖端活动和资源在此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，以及教育创新周期与科学创新之间的相互作用。
