About the Rendezvous

What is the Rendezvous?

The Earth Educators' Rendezvous is a five-day conference that takes place biennially at different locations across the country. The Rendezvous combines a workshop program with a meeting format of multi-day workshops, contributed talks and posters, round table discussions, teaching demonstrations, plenary sessions, and working groups. Drawing on work currently taking place across geoscience, environmental science, and sustainability education, meeting attendees have the opportunity to learn broadly, focus on a particular issue or challenge, discover new pedagogical tools, and network with old and new colleagues. To learn more about the Rendezvous themes and program, explore the 2024 or previous Rendezvous event pages.

The Earth Educators' Rendezvous is part of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) On the Cutting Edge professional development program. This program is run in collaboration with the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College (SERC) and builds on the legacy of the original NSF-funded program including its design philosophy and workshop model.
