This OEDG Planning Grant is being used to plan a partnership among Cornell University, the KIPP NYC charter schools, the Cornell Upward Bound program, which promotes college attainment for students, and the Paleontological Research Institute (PRI) and its Museum of the Earth. The partnership?s goals are to enhance participation of underrepresented minorities in the geosciences through working with large numbers of minority students in an environment where college enrollment is fostered and science pedagogy is valued. The partnership seeks to improve the quality of Earth science education across four KIPP middle schools and 1 high school, and increase student exposure to Earth science content. This project represents a new direction for the KIPP schools, which have an excellent record of increasing academic achievement in urban settings, but mostly through emphasis on reading and math, not inquiry-based science. Bridging of KIPP and Upward Bound activities are expected to help sustain interest in science beyond high school and facilitate applications to colleges where geoscience degrees might be pursued. The partnership seeks to increase awareness of the geosciences and to enhance the effectiveness of their middle and high school science preparation to provide a foundation for successful college science experiences. The main activity of this planning phase is to establish a Roundtable the explores the most effective implementation strategies to use within the KIPP school context, including teacher professional development, field trips, community outreach, geoscience immersion experiences, and college preparation resources.

这个OEDG规划补助金被用于规划康奈尔大学，KIPP NYC特许学校，康奈尔大学向上发展计划，促进学生的大学学业，以及古生物研究所（PRI）及其地球博物馆之间的伙伴关系。合伙关系？的目标是通过在促进大学入学和重视科学教学法的环境中与大量少数民族学生合作，提高代表性不足的少数民族在地球科学中的参与。该伙伴关系旨在提高KIPP四所中学和一所高中的地球科学教育质量，并增加学生对地球科学内容的接触。这个项目代表了KIPP学校的一个新方向，这些学校在城市环境中有着提高学术成就的良好记录，但主要是通过强调阅读和数学，而不是基于探究的科学。KIPP和向上拓展活动的衔接预计将有助于维持高中以后对科学的兴趣，并促进申请可能攻读地球科学学位的大学。该伙伴关系旨在提高对地球科学的认识，并提高其初中和高中科学准备的有效性，为成功的大学科学经验奠定基础。 这个规划阶段的主要活动是建立一个圆桌会议，探讨最有效的实施策略，在KIPP学校范围内使用，包括教师专业发展，实地考察，社区推广，地球科学沉浸式体验，和大学准备资源。
