This 1-year Opportunities for Enhancing Diversity in the Geosciences planning grant is bringing together faculty at Fayetteville State University and the University of North Carolina Pembroke and 20 in-service Earth/Environmental Science teachers from the surrounding school districts in a workshop that will focus on developing high quality teacher professional development activities. The basic strategy that is being developed during the planning phase is to establish a mechanism for providing research experiences for teachers in the laboratories of participating university faculty. It is expected that this will be a win-win approach that improves the geoscience content knowledge of the teachers and increases their confidence in the scientific process, while also strengthening the pedagogical capabilities of the host researchers.

这项为期一年的“加强地球科学规划多样性的机会”资助将费耶特维尔州立大学和北卡罗来纳大学彭布罗克分校的教师以及来自周边学区的20名在职地球/环境科学教师聚集在一起，参加一个研讨会，重点是发展高质量的教师专业发展活动。在规划阶段正在制订的基本战略是建立一种机制，向参与的大学教员的实验室的教师提供研究经验。预计这将是一种双赢的方法，它提高了教师的地球科学内容知识，增加了他们对科学过程的信心，同时也加强了东道国研究人员的教学能力。
