Planning Grant to Bring Cutting Edge Scientific Ocean Drilling Research on Past Climate Change into Minority-Serving Institution Geoscience Classrooms

海洋领导联盟（COL）、美国气象学会（AMS）、詹姆斯·麦迪逊大学（JMU）和洛杉矶山谷学院（LAVC）之间的合作将召开为期四天的规划研讨会，通过利用综合海洋钻探计划（IODP）获得的古气候数据，探索扩大地球科学（特别是气候科学）参与的新方法。讲习班将邀请来自少数族裔服务机构的25名教员、教育和评估专业人员以及专题专家参加。研讨会的最终目标是规划更多的项目，使用实际操作的方法来教育MSI的教师关于基于海洋钻探的古气候研究，并指导将这项研究整合到此类机构大规模使用的课程中。该项目旨在整合通过coldeep Earth Academy School of Rock项目、JMU Building Core Knowledge课程以及AMS在实施其气候科学专业发展课程期间开发的MSI教师网络开发的有效教育策略。

This collaboration between the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL), the American Meteorological Society (AMS), James Madison University (JMU), and Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC) is convening a four-day planning workshop to explore novel approaches to broadening participation in the geosciences (and climate science in particular), through leveraging of paleoclimate data obtained by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). The workshop will engage 25 faculty from minority-serving institutions (MSIs), education and assessment professionals, and subject matter experts. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to plan additional programs that use hands-on approaches to educate MSI faculty about ocean drilling-based paleoclimate research and guide integration of this research into curricula used at such institutions at a large scale. The project seeks to integrate effective educational strategies developed through the COL Deep Earth Academy School of Rock program, the JMU Building Core Knowledge curriculum, and MSI faculty networks developed by the AMS during implementation of their professional development course on climate science.
