The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) and the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) propose to host a fall 2014 summit on implementation of standards for college and career readiness at the state level. The summit brings together key members of the Earth and Space Sciences (ESS) community to identify and devise ways in which they can work together to help states and school districts implement college and career readiness standards. A needs assessment is conducted before the summit to determine the top concerns of the stakeholders and a collaborative website is created. At the conference, a collection of standards-congruent ESS educational resources are identified and assembled. The conference report describes concrete guidelines for disseminating these resources to translate the vision and structure of the standards into teaching and learning practice. A 2.5 day working meeting for 30 experts and stakeholders consists of short plenaries to establish the context for each set of working group sessions. The proposed plenary speakers are Steven Pruitt from Achieve, Michael Wysession, one of the lead writers of the ESS portion of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and panels of science supervisors from states that have and have not adopted the standards. In the working group sessions, conferees identify products and services that the geoscience and geoscience education community can develop to help states implement the ESS portion of the standards. A key component of the Summit is action items to move the agenda of the conference forward in the states, and commitment of the participants to follow through on the various findings of the conference is emphasized. As part of the selection process individuals will be asked for a commitment from the organizations they represent to participate in follow-up actions from the Summit. The conference and its impacts will be measured by an external evaluatorThis conference is to develop a strategy for increasing the import of teaching Earth and Space Sciences in schools to make students ready for college and careers.

美国地球科学研究所（AGI）和全国地球科学教师协会（NAGT）提议在2014年秋季举办一次关于在州一级实施大学和职业准备标准的峰会。 该峰会汇集了地球和空间科学（ESS）社区的主要成员，以确定和设计他们可以共同努力帮助各州和学区实施大学和职业准备标准的方法。 在首脑会议之前进行了需求评估，以确定利益攸关方最关心的问题，并建立了一个合作网站。 在会议上，一个标准一致的ESS教育资源的集合被确定和组装。 会议报告描述了传播这些资源的具体指导方针，以将标准的愿景和结构转化为教学实践。 为期2.5天的工作会议由30名专家和利益攸关方组成，包括简短的全体会议，以确定每组工作组会议的背景。 拟议的全体会议发言人是来自Achieve的Steven Pruitt，下一代科学标准（NGSS）ESS部分的主要作者之一Michael Wysession，以及来自已经和尚未采用标准的州的科学监督员小组。 在工作组会议上，与会者确定地球科学和地球科学教育界可以开发的产品和服务，以帮助各国实施标准的ESS部分。 首脑会议的一个关键组成部分是在各州推进会议议程的行动项目，并强调与会者承诺贯彻会议的各项结论。 作为甄选过程的一部分，将要求个人代表其所代表的组织承诺参加首脑会议的后续行动。 会议及其影响将由外部评估人员衡量。这次会议将制定一项战略，增加学校地球和空间科学教学的重要性，使学生为上大学和就业做好准备。
