Atmospheric, climate, ocean, earth and environmental sciences (geosciences) are among the least diverse fields in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). A lack of diversity in STEM fields means decreased ability to identify and solve critical issues facing society such as climate change, which disproportionately affects the populations that are least represented in STEM. The Data in Geosciences in Teaching project aims to increase diversity in the geosciences by supporting high school teachers in school districts with diverse student populations to sustainably build their science programs to include the types of geoscience student learning experiences that increase the likelihood that these students will pursue STEM careers. Classroom and field-based geosciences lessons will be co-created by teachers and community geosciences partners (industry, government, and academic). This project aims to make real change in the district science programming by providing a long-term commitment of resources, supporting teachers using local geoscience experiences and expertise, and building sustainable partnerships.This project seeks to create a systematic approach to ensuring equitable access to geoscience learning experiences for local high school educators and professionals through creation of a geosciences learning ecosystem that will incorporate the assets and expertise of Community Geosciences Partners, professional learning experiences, their existing science curriculum, newly created geosciences learning experiences, and evidence of student impacts to support iterative design of the student learning experiences. The goals of this project are to: (1) design and implement a series of experiences for high school science teachers to engage with local Geoscience Community Partners and their data to foster learning and collaborations (Teacher Learning); (2) facilitate the co-creation of student learning experiences that increase the number of authentic, data-rich, and locally-and/or personally-relevant geoscience lessons taught in local high school science courses (Student Learning); and (3) create and implement a sustainability plan with the local high school science programming that includes continued collaborations between high school science teachers and local Community Geosciences Partners (System Level Change).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.

大气、气候、海洋、地球和环境科学（地球科学）是科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）中多样性最少的领域。STEM领域缺乏多样性意味着识别和解决气候变化等社会面临的关键问题的能力下降，这对STEM中代表性最低的人群产生了不成比例的影响。“教学中的地球科学数据”项目旨在通过支持拥有不同学生群体的学区的高中教师可持续地建立他们的科学课程，从而增加地球科学学生学习经验的类型，从而增加这些学生追求STEM职业的可能性，从而增加地球科学的多样性。课堂和实地地球科学课程将由教师和社区地球科学合作伙伴（工业、政府和学术界）共同创建。该项目旨在通过提供长期的资源承诺，支持教师利用当地的地球科学经验和专业知识，以及建立可持续的伙伴关系，对地区科学规划做出真正的改变。该项目旨在通过创建一个地球科学学习生态系统，确保当地高中教育工作者和专业人士公平获得地球科学学习经验，该生态系统将整合社区地球科学合作伙伴的资产和专业知识、专业学习经验、他们现有的科学课程、新创建的地球科学学习经验、以及学生影响的证据，以支持学生学习经验的迭代设计。该项目的目标是：(1)为高中科学教师设计和实施一系列体验，让他们与当地地球科学社区合作伙伴及其数据合作，以促进学习和合作（教师学习）；(2)促进学生学习体验的共同创造，增加当地高中科学课程中真实、数据丰富、与当地和/或个人相关的地球科学课程的数量（学生学习）；(3)与当地高中科学规划一起制定并实施可持续发展计划，其中包括高中科学教师与当地社区地球科学合作伙伴之间的持续合作（系统层面变化）。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
