The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) supports conferences and workshops that seek to increase the research and education capacity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students and faculty at HBCUs. Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University will hold a workshop on October 18-19, 2018 to improve the preparation of pre-service earth science teachers at HBCUs. About fifty pre-service teachers and faculty will attend.The workshop provides hands-on activities and reflection sessions to equip college faculty in using the micro-spiral approach in their geosciences courses at the undergraduate level. The objectives are to: transfer geosciences concepts, knowledge and skills to pre-service and in-service teachers; support pre-service teacher education programs; and support in-service teachers in their quest to educate future geoscientists. The workshop will focus on training in the communication of culturally and regionally relevant geoscience knowledge, and on providing a geosciences tool capable to give support to pre-service teachers in Earth Science Standards content and National Science Teachers Association Standards for the Science Teacher Preparation Certification process.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

历史上黑人学院和大学 - 本科生计划 (HBCU-UP) 支持会议和研讨会，旨在提高 HBCU 科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 学生和教师的研究和教育能力。 佛罗里达农业机械大学将于 2018 年 10 月 18 日至 19 日举办研讨会，以改善 HBCU 职前地球科学教师的准备工作。 大约五十名职前教师和教职员工将参加。研讨会提供实践活动和反思课程，帮助大学教师在本科阶段的地球科学课程中使用微螺旋方法。目标是： 将地球科学概念、知识和技能传授给职前和在职教师；支持职前教师教育计划；并支持在职教师培养未来的地球科学家。该研讨会将重点关注文化和区域相关地球科学知识的交流培训，并提供一种地球科学工具，能够为职前教师提供地球科学标准内容和美国国家科学教师协会科学教师准备认证流程标准的支持。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
