The goal of this effort is to enhance geoscience literacy and appreciation of the relevance of the geosciences to society in the Hispanic community, and to develop interest in geoscience careers among youth and their parents in this population. A community-based approach will engage 120 bilingual K-12 educators, and through their existing school-based infrastructures, thousands of students and hundreds of parents, in a unique partnership with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Office of Education and Outreach. Project collaborators also include the Colorado Department of Education, the Colorado MESA program, and Univision Colorado. The program's objectives are to provide high-quality geoscience professional development to bilingual K-12 science educators, build collaborations among diverse organizations, increase awareness of the geosciences among parents and students, and identify strategies to sustain the partnership. Activities include a Bilingual Science Teachers Annual Resources Symposium in Fall 2007, Parent Nights, on-going online professional development, Winter and Spring day-long professional development extension workshops, and a Family Geoscience Fair in Spring 2008, as well as televised outreach through Univision Colorado. Activities will access NCAR's geoscience research content and diverse scientists who can serve as science career role models. Bilingual education resources will be disseminated locally and nationally through UCAR's Windows to the Universe web site. CDE will encourage state-wide adoption of successful bilingual science education methodologies. Univision's national networks will broadcast aspects of this effort that will further interest the Hispanic community in science education.

这项工作的目标是提高西班牙裔社区的地球科学素养和对地球科学与社会的相关性的认识，并培养该人群中的年轻人及其父母对地球科学职业的兴趣。 基于社区的方法将吸引120名双语K-12教育工作者，并通过其现有的学校基础设施，数千名学生和数百名家长，与国家大气研究中心（NCAR）和大学大气研究公司（UCAR）教育和外联办公室建立独特的合作伙伴关系。 项目合作者还包括科罗拉多教育部、科罗拉多梅萨计划和Univision科罗拉多。 该计划的目标是为双语K-12科学教育工作者提供高质量的地球科学专业发展，在不同组织之间建立合作，提高家长和学生对地球科学的认识，并确定维持伙伴关系的战略。活动包括2007年秋季的双语科学教师年度资源研讨会、家长之夜、持续的在线专业发展、冬季和春季为期一天的专业发展推广讲习班、2008年春季的家庭地球科学博览会，以及通过Univision科罗拉多的电视宣传。活动将访问NCAR的地球科学研究内容和不同的科学家谁可以作为科学事业的榜样。双语教育资源将通过UCAR的Windows to the Universe网站在地方和全国传播。 CDE将鼓励全州采用成功的双语科学教育方法。Univision的国家网络将广播这一努力的各个方面，这将进一步引起西班牙裔社区对科学教育的兴趣。
