GER Application

Applications are due by February 15th, 2016. Notifications will go out by February 29, please do not register for the Rendezvous until you receive that notification.

The Geoscience Education Research (GER) Community Planning Workshop will use small group discussion and work-time, whole group discussions, presentations, and other structured activities to support community-engagement, sharing of ideas, problem-solving, and collaboration. We anticipate topics of the GER workshop will include discussion of findings from a winter 2016 community-wide GER needs survey, design and development strategies for a GER online "toolbox", and ideas on research priorities of the community.
