Project Focus
- Disciplinary Skills and Habits of Mind 1 match Focuses on developing students' ability to think and act with disciplinary expertise. This encompasses concepts like systems thinking, quantitative reasoning, field-based learning, spatial and temporal thinking, data visualization and manipulation.
- Network and Community Building 1 match Focus on supporting the development and nurturing of networks of individuals. This includes community visioning efforts, supporting communities of practices, and understanding and supporting the growth of networks.
SERC Role
- Education Research 1 match A focus on facilitating or conducting research on what works in the STEM classroom across a variety of levels and contexts. Project foci include student assessment, spatial reasoning, teaching and learning practices, influence of professional development, influence of open education internet resources, influence of Communities of Practice, and levers of change in higher education.
- Evaluation 1 match SERC has deep experience in utilization-focused, evidence-based program evaluation. This can include a wide variety of methodologies, evaluation planning, and capacity building for project teams.
- Event Development/Facilitation 1 match A focus on planning, organizing, and supporting in-person or virtual events as part of a project's activities. This can include logistical support, program development, session facilitation, and all other aspects of running successful events.
- Product Dissemination 1 match A focus on helping publicize and raise awareness of the outcomes, products, and findings of project work. This can include activities such as presentations at professional meetings, writing manuscripts, running webinars, and writing press releases.
- Website Hosting and Development 2 matches A focus on providing the technical infrastructure and support for a project's website. This can include activities such as creating new SERCkit tools, development of website architecture, and design of the website's look and feel.

IODP School of Rock 2020
The Scientific Ocean Drilling IMPACT workshop series, held in 2020-2022, strived to chart the future course of science communication and outreach for scientific ocean drilling, in direct support of the 2050 Framework for Scientific Ocean Drilling and its call to "communicate far-reaching scientific ocean drilling knowledge to the broader community." SERC provided support in hosting the project website, including providing virtual workshop support, web infrastructure for a 2022 in-person workshop, and as a mechanism for disseminating project products.

Improving Undergraduate Scientific Explanations: Exploring the Role of Data Literacy
The Improving Undergraduate Scientific Explanations: Exploring the Role of Data Literacy Skills in Scientific Reasoning project at Rider University is supported by an NSF IUSE grant (#2021347) awarded to Kathleen Browne in 2020. The PIs investigate whether students who participate in courses that use data sets from the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) and provide instruction in the use of "DCER" (i.e., Data Description-Claim-Evidence-Reasoning) are able to provide better explanations of scientific observations than those in a comparison group and perform better on assessments of scientific reasoning and data literacy.The SERC evaluation team consulted on the statistical analysis and conducted a process evaluation using artifact review and interviews.

Oceans in the News
The Oceans in the News course uses polar science examples to build student skills in data analysis and use of media and other sources. Students will develop proficiency in data visualization and its application to the analysis of news stories about polar regions. SERC adapted it course publishing format to allow dissemination of these course materials.
