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

这个OEDG规划补助金奖项被用来建立布鲁克林学院，前景公园联盟和当地布鲁克林初中和高中之间的合作伙伴关系。 正在开发的计划将提供指导，调查和基于地方的研究经验，参与学生的中心过程中发生的前景公园湖附近。 该项目的规划阶段包括两个规划讲习班和一个为期一周的实地研究经验示范抽样学生。 这个为期一周的演示将向规划小组提供有关可能纳入全面实施计划的拟议策略的有效性的即时反馈。 项目内容正在与纽约州执法人员考试保持一致，越来越有可能得到更广泛的采用。 该项目预计将专门在布鲁克林的多样化人口中招募，以扩大地球科学中代表性不足的学生的参与。

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.
