Why We Need a Corps of Earth Science Educators
http://www.geotimes.org/sept02/feature_educators.html

Robert Ridky, U.S. Geological Survey


The author of this Geotimes (September 2002) article addresses the place of Earth Science education historically, as well as its importance to modern society. The need for more elementary and secondary educators is emphasized. The author proposes wasys for post-secondary students to earn both Earth Science degrees and Education degrees and advocates this as a mechanism for correcting the historic underrepresentation of Earth Science in education.
