• Approaching Deadline for NAGT's 2017-18 Traveling Workshops Program
  

  The National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) is pleased to announce the Traveling Workshops Program (TWP) for the 2017-2018 academic year: http://nagt.org/nagt/profdev/twp/index.html

  The Traveling Workshops Program brings national leaders in environmental, sustainability, and geoscience education to your campus, regional, or national event. The Traveling Workshops Program focuses on opportunities to strengthen both courses and programs, including attracting and supporting diverse students. It brings together expertise from numerous NSF-funded projects, including On the Cutting Edge, InTeGrate, SAGE, and GeoNeeds. The TWP is part of NAGT's integrated Workshop Program.

  At the end of an NAGT traveling workshop, participants will have a combination of the following, dependent on workshop theme:

  • Strategies and approaches that have worked for others in the US and Canada
  • A collection of resources, including department best practices, curricula, courses, modules, and activities, on the topic(s) of their choice
  • A departmental, program, or individual action plan for moving forward

  Potential themes include:

  • Geoscience and Environmental Science Departments
  • Cross-Campus Environmental and Sustainability Programs
  • Earth Science in K-8 Teacher Preparation Programs
  • Supporting the Success of All Students
  • Intro and Upper-Level Courses
  • Effective and Societally Relevant Courses
  
  

  Application Deadlines for the 2017-2018 academic year:

  • October 15, 2017 (for Spring/Summer 2018 Workshops)
  • March 15, 2018 (for Fall 2018 Workshops)

  Please note that it can take 5-7 weeks to plan your workshop. Bear this in mind when deciding which application deadline to submit against.

• Sexual Harassment in the Sciences: A Call to Geoscience Faculty and Researchers to Respond
  Thank you to NAGT members Kristen St. John, Eric Riggs, and Dave Mogk on writing the recent JGE editorial Sexual Harassment in the Sciences: A Call to Geoscience Faculty and Researchers to Respond based on the goals of the (NSF)-funded workshop: Sexual Harassment in the Sciences - A Call to Respond. The authors share their reflections on points from the workshop and results from recent studies that particularly resonated and have implications for geoscience education and geoscience education researchers.
