GEOSC 597A - Earth System Science for Teachers

This graduate-level course was taught in conjunction with a National Science Foundation grant (Transforming Earth System Science Education) seeking to increase the number of middle school and high school teachers seeking highly qualified status for Earth science teaching.  The course was co-taught by myself and Dr. Tanya Furman (Geosciences - University Park) at UP in Summer 2008 and Brandywine in Summer 2009.

The course focuses on getting teachers to think about the Big Ideas in Earth science and different pedagogical strategies to engage their students in learning. A blog highlights resources from the course.
