OEDG Planning Grant: Partnership for a Place-Based Geoscience Experience for Urban Students

这笔OEDG规划助学金用于在布鲁克林学院、展望公园联盟和布鲁克林当地的初中和高中之间建立合作伙伴关系。正在开发的项目将为参与项目的学生提供指导、探究和基于地点的研究体验，重点是展望公园湖附近发生的过程。该项目的规划阶段包括两个规划讲习班和为期一周的实地研究经验演示，供抽样的学生使用。这一为期一周的演示将向规划小组提供关于可能被纳入完全实施的计划的拟议战略的有效性的即时反馈。项目内容正在与纽约州议会考试保持一致，越来越有可能更广泛地采用。该项目希望在布鲁克林的不同人口中专门招聘，以扩大未被充分代表的学生在地球科学领域的参与。

This OEDG Planning Grant award is being used to establish a collaborative partnership between Brooklyn College, the Prospect Park Alliance, and local Brooklyn middle and high schools. The program under development will provide mentored, inquiry- and place-based research experiences for participating students that center on processes occurring within the Prospect Park Lake vicinity. The planning phase of this project includes two planning workshops and a 1-week field research experience demonstration for a sampling of students. This 1-week demonstration will provide immediate feedback to the planning group regarding the efficacy of proposed strategies that might be incorporated into a fully-implemented program. Project content is being aligned to New York State Regents exams, increasingly the likelihood of more widespread adoption. This project expects to specifically recruit among Brooklyn's diverse population in order to broaden participation of underrepresented students in the geosciences.
