The South Bay Geo-Diversity Project: Phase II

南湾地质多样性项目第二阶段的目标是 1)通过让国立西班牙大学（NHU）和圣何塞城市学院（SJCC）的学生参与积极的学习体验，提高他们对教育和职业机会的认识，加强他们对地球科学的参与，（2）与圣何塞州立大学的梅萨合作（数学，工程，科学成就）计划和拉丁美洲大学预科学院在NHU提供代表性不足的初中和高中学生在地球科学领域的实地丰富活动， (3)建立一个地质学家在驻地计划，配对SJSU地质学生与教师和学生在当地初中和高中， (4)通过提高中学和高中教师对地球科学的内容背景和信心水平，并通过适当的材料支持他们的地球科学教学，提高地球科学教学的数量和质量。该项目通过投资于从代表性不足的群体中招聘和培训未来的地球科学家，为地球科学教育做出贡献。它还将利用一个独特的机会，影响国家西班牙裔大学，一个不断扩大的西班牙裔服务机构新生的课程和计划。 该项目将传播广泛的社区合作伙伴的合作模式，以改善代表性不足的学生接触地球科学的机会。该项目将提高职前教师和伙伴学校长期教员教授的地球科学的数量和质量。

The goals of the South Bay Geo-Diversity Project - Phase II are to 1) Enhance participation in the geosciences by students at National Hispanic University (NHU) and San Jose City College (SJCC) by engaging them in active learning experiences and raising their awareness of educational and career opportunities, (2) Team with San Jose State University's MESA (Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement) Program and the Latino College Preparatory Academy at NHU to provide underrepresented middle- and high-school students with field-based enrichment activities in the geosciences, (3) Establish a Geologist-In-Residence program that pairs SJSU geology students with teachers and students in local middle and high schools, (4) Increase the quantity and quality of geoscience taught by teachers of middle and high school by enhancing their content background and confidence level in geoscience, and by supporting their teaching of geoscience with appropriate materials. The project contributes to geoscience education by investing in the recruitment and training of future geoscientists from underrepresented groups. It also will exploit a unique opportunity to influence nascent curricula and programs at National Hispanic University, an expanding Hispanic-serving institution. The project will disseminate a model for the collaboration of a broad spectrum of community partners to improve access to the geosciences for underrepresented students. The project will increase the quantity and quality of geoscience taught by both pre-service teachers and the permanent instructors at partner schools.
