Workshop Description

Students from a wide variety of backgrounds discover a passion for the geosciences for the first time at a community college. This workshop will help instructors develop a set of skills and tools they can use to support the success of all of these students. Morning session topics will focus on how to implement evidence-based active learning techniques to create an equitable classroom. The workshop will conclude with a short, local field trip to help foster and build a community of local geoscience educators.
