Lessons Learned from InTeGrate's Materials Development Program and What Remains Undone

Tuesday, October 1, 2019

11:00 am PT | 12:00 pm MT | 1:00 pm CT | 2:00 pm ET

Presenters: Anne Egger (Central Washington University) and Kim Kastens (Columbia University)

This webinar is part of a series supporting teaching with InTeGrate principles, using InTeGrate-developed and curated materials as tools. This webinar is also part of the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) professional development webinar series. And finally, this webinar is pre-workshop preparation for people attending the Oct 2019 Workshop on Earth Education for Sustainable Societies.

Summary

In this webinar, you will hear from one of the leaders of InTeGrate's materials development program and one of the project's evaluators. They will share the strategies that led to the development of high-quality resources that aligned with the project's guiding principles, the evaluation strategies that looked beyond the results in one classroom, the scope of the materials produced, and lessons learned in the process. The goal of presenting these results is to provoke discussion and spur ideas for successor projects that can address gaps, reach new audiences, and/or achieve and evaluate different objectives, while building on the existing instruments, infrastructure, and expertise.

Webinar Goals

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

Understand some of the systems that InTeGrate put in place to ensure that curriculum materials developed by the project advanced the projects' goals
Understand how InTeGrate monitored the effectiveness and impact of the project's materials development program
Know what types of curriculum materials are still needed to flesh out a comprehensive portfolio of materials for teaching about the Earth in societal contexts
Formulate or refine their own ideas about what kind of future project they might want to be involved in that would move forward from foundation built by InTeGrate to strengthen Earth education.
