Teachers on the Leading Edge, workshop June 2004

摘要许多中学地球科学教师面临的一个共同问题是当地和区域地质知识有限，实地经验有限。太平洋西北部的活动大陆边缘提供了令人惊讶的各种地质环境：前沿教师的主题将是：（a）以解决问题的方法为特色的实地地质调查，并灌输地质学的地方感;（B）地球系统科学促进对地圈、水圈、大气圈和生物圈内部和之间的质量和能量转移的批判性思考;（c）地球物理重点，将展示如何通过地震、磁力和重力研究对地下地质进行成像，并使教师能够向学生传达Earth Scope的美国阵列和板块边界观测实验的发现。(d)对地质灾害的审查是可以理解的，与“生活在我们大陆边缘”的公民有关。规划讲习班将：（1）形成大学和K-12地球科学教育工作者的合作;（2）确定通过解决问题学习地球科学的最佳现场位置;（3）为2005年夏季教师研讨会的开幕式制定实施计划;（4）通过向地球系统教育数字图书馆（DLESE）投稿报告计划的开发和设计。

ABSTRACTA common problem faced by many secondary school teachers of Earth Science is limitedknowledge of local and regional geology and limited field experience. The active continental margin in the Pacific Northwest provides an amazing variety of geological settings:Themes of Teachers on the Leading Edge will be: (a) Field-based geology investigations that feature the problem-solving approach and instill a geologic sense of place; (b) Earth Systems Science promoting critical thinking about mass and energy transfers within and between the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere; (c) A geophysical emphasis that will demonstrate how subsurface geology is imaged by seismic, magnetic, and gravity studies and will prepare teachers to convey to their students the discoveries of Earth Scope's US Array and Plate Boundary Observatory experiments. (d) Examinations of geologic hazards as understandable and relevant to citizens who "live on the edge" of our continent. The planning workshops will: (1) form a collaborative of university and K-12 Earth Science educators; (2) determine the best field locations for learning Earth Science through problem-solving; (3) develop an implementation plan for the inaugural set of summer 2005 workshops for teachers; and (4) report program development and design through contributions to the Digital Library of Earth System Education (DLESE)..
