Using EarthScope Data in Secondary Classrooms: A Pilot Workshop to Engage Scientists and Teachers in Cascadia Curriculum Development
Up one levelTwo significant challenges facing the EarthScope community include providing educational audiences with access to timely EarthScope science and presenting complex data and related principles in useable language and accessible formats for varied populations. An EarthScope pilot workshop is being held from August 1-4, 2006 in Portland, OR to identify important topics that EarthScope instructional materials should address and engage members of the scientific and educational communities in developing instructional materials for secondary Earth science classrooms. This workshop is a pilot project for engaging major stakeholders (scientists, teachers, curriculum developers, data providers, and EarthScope partner organizations) in teams to create quality educational materials on the topic of Cascadia, a focused geographic area of high scientific interest to EarthScope. The Plate Boundary Observatory Nucleus (PBO Nucleus) project at UNAVCO is leading this initiative in collaboration with Teachers on the Leading Edge, the EarthScope office, IRIS, and TERC. This workshop is funded by the National Science Foundation.
