GeoPREP Track 2: Expanding the Geoscience Pathway

GeoPREP是一个多轨道计划，服务于长岛高需求学区的高中生、纽约州立大学斯托尼布鲁克代表性不足的少数民族本科生以及该地区在职和职前地球科学教师。这个轨道2 OEDG项目解决了缺乏后续机会的学生在纽约州的兴趣，在地球科学已被8日或9日年级的地球科学。它扩展了轨道1 OEDG项目期间创建的成功计划模型。这些模式包括为高中生提供的密集的夏季住宅地球科学研究计划，一系列在职教师培训研讨会，以开发新的跨学科地球科学课程，并通过与布鲁克海文国家实验室合作，从国家同步加速器光源和进一步发展开放空间管理计划的网络广播。新的组成部分包括引入一个学年的大学实验室访问计划，为高中生提供扩大动手地球科学学习活动，奖学金支持本科生在路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟（LSAMP），以及纵向研究的态度和可能的偏见，关于地球科学的代表性不足的少数民族学生。

GeoPREP is a multi-track program serving high school students from high-needs school districts on Long Island, underrepresented minority undergraduates at SUNY Stony Brook, and in-service and pre-service Earth science teachers in the region. This Track 2 OEDG project addresses the lack of scholastic follow-up opportunities for students in New York State whose interest in the geosciences has been whetted by 8th or 9th grade Earth Science. It expands on successful program models created during a Track 1 OEDG project. These models include an intensive summer residential geoscience research program for high school students, a series of in-service teacher training workshops to develop new interdisciplinary geoscience curricula, and, through partnership with Brookhaven National Laboratory, webcasts from the National Synchrotron Light Source and further development of the Open Space Stewardship Program. New components include the introduction of an academic-year university laboratory visitation program for high school students that provides for expanded hands-on geoscience learning activities, scholarship support for undergraduates in the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP), and a longitudinal study of attitudes and possible biases regarding the geosciences by underrepresented minority students.
