Summary

Departments across higher education grapple with how to programmatically support teaching about the Earth in the context of societal issues across curriculum. InTeGrate included 16 institutional programs that used InTeGrate strategies and materials to reach such programmatic goals. This webinar will introduce the set of program models that emerged from InTeGrate and share a synthesis of lessons learned from five areas: recruiting and supporting diverse learners; teaching Earth across the curriculum; building connections to strengthen K-12 teaching; supporting transitions to the workforce, transfer, and careers; and making change happen on the large scale. This webinar will characterize what we know about the impact of these programs on participants and how the lessons have been integrated into the NAGT Traveling Workshops Program.

Webinar goals

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

Understand how change at program, institution, and cross-institutional scales made use of, and built upon InTeGrate practices and materials, including approaches to monitor effectiveness and impact of these programs
Understand the common issues addressed by these programs and how these lessons informed aspects of the NAGT Traveling Workshop Program
Know where to find more information about the programmatic lessons to refine their own ideas that could move forward from the foundation built by InTeGrate to strengthen Earth education.
