Scripps Classroom Connection: Developing a School District/Research Institution Partnership In Earth System Science EducationThe Scripps Classroom Connection (SCC) aims to systemically and simultaneously improve communication skills of Earth Science (ES) graduate students and K-12 ES education at the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). These goals are relevant because earth science literacy (ESL) is fundamental to the success of our society, which must practice much more effective stewardship of our very fragile planet. Society needs to understand how planet Earth works as an integrated chemical, physical and biological system to develop appropriate strategies for sustainable use of earth resources, disposal of waste products, effective mitigation of the impact of climate change, and natural disasters. Yet ES is amongst the most neglected STEM education disciplines. The SCC is based on a close collaboration between Scripps Institution of Oceanography, a world-class research institute in Earth and ocean science, and the SDUSD, the 8th largest urban school district in the US, with the guidance of professionals from the UCSD education science department. Key efforts and outcomes of our project will include: (1) Development of an enduring, pedagogically robust curriculum in ES at the SDUSD through a collaboration between scientists, teacher-educators, teachers and graduate students; (2) Training of a new breed of graduate students that is equally comfortable communicating their science to their specialist peers and to lay audiences, (3) Effectively raising ESL in SDUSD schools laying a foundation for a public that becomes an effective steward of Planet Earth.

斯克里普斯课堂连接：在地球系统科学教育中发展学区/研究机构合作关系斯克里普斯课堂连接 (SCC) 旨在系统地同时提高圣地亚哥联合学区 (SDUSD) 地球科学 (ES) 研究生和 K-12 ES 教育的沟通技巧。 这些目标是相关的，因为地球科学素养（ESL）是我们社会成功的基础，社会必须对我们非常脆弱的星球进行更有效的管理。社会需要了解地球作为一个综合的化学、物理和生物系统如何运作，以制定适当的战略，可持续利用地球资源、处置废物、有效减轻气候变化和自然灾害的影响。然而 ES 是最被忽视的 STEM 教育学科之一。 SCC 建立在世界一流的地球和海洋科学研究机构斯克里普斯海洋学研究所与美国第八大城市学区 SDUSD 之间的密切合作基础上，并得到 UCSD 教育科学系专业人士的指导。 我们项目的主要努力和成果将包括： (1) 通过科学家、教师教育工作者、教师和研究生之间的合作，在 SDUSD 开发持久的、教学上稳健的 ES 课程； (2) 培训新一代研究生，让他们能够轻松地向专业同行和非专业观众传播他们的科学知识，(3) 有效提高 SDUSD 学校的 ESL 水平，为公众成为地球的有效管理者奠定基础。
