Project EDDIE
Project EDDIE develops flexible, stand-alone, and modular classroom activities for undergraduate students using long-term and high-frequency datasets to explore the core scientific concepts and develop quantitative literacy. Throughout the lifetime of the project, the SERC team has taken on a number of roles such as initially providing expertise on modular activity development and website development and student assessment.

SAGE 2YC
By engaging 2YC geoscience faculty in professional development, the SAGE2YC project disseminated advances in STEM education to improve teaching, support students in geoscience technical training, and help prepare geoscience majors and pre-service teachers for college transfer. This program shared successful strategies for teaching students with a range of abilities, experiences, and goals, and for preparing 2YC students for the geoscience workforce.

ADVANCEGeo Partnership
The ADVANCEGeo Partnership is addressing the problematic behaviors, such as sexual harassment, discrimination, and bullying, that lead to hostile working environments in the earth, space, and environmental sciences. ADVANCEGeo works to improve workplace climate conditions through bystander intervention education and resources tailored to department heads and chairs, faculty, and graduate students in research environments. SERC supports this project with its expertise in web dissemination to facilitate the workshop model and expand the reach of project resources.

Compass
The project's primary goal is to enhance access to high-quality Earth education resources by understanding how educators use SERC's materials, improving SERC's infrastructure and organization for easier access, and expanding discoverable resources through partnerships. SERC leads this project using community input to guide the improvements to SERC discovery infrastructure.

EarthLabs
EarthLabs provides a national model for engaging k-12 Earth and environmental science labs. Multiple units illustrate sequences for learning science concepts through data analysis activities and hands-on experiments. SERC designed the website structure that supports both students and instructors and hosts this heavily used set of materials.

TIDeS
The Teaching with Investigation and Design in Science (TIDeS) project is supporting faculty to develop and implement curricular materials for introductory undergraduate science courses that focus on science investigation and engineering design. The aim of the project is to prepare future teachers by exposing them to discourse-filled, context-rich, inclusive classrooms on the premise that teachers should learn science the way they are expected to teach it. SERC is involved both through support of the rubric-driven curriculum development process as well as a multi-faceted evaluation making use of qualitative and quantitative methods to assess project objectives.

Teach the Earth
Teach the Earth is a portal to a broad range of Earth education materials. Originally developed by SERC as a central access point to the materials of its hosted projects, it is now operated in coordination with the National Association of Geoscience Teachers and serves as a locus of sharing across the Earth education community.

Integrating Research and Education
This site explored ways to bring modern research results into undergraduate courses and served as a primary pathway for ensuring courses reflected rapid advances in the discipline and served as an exciting mechanism for engaging students. SERC hosts the website and SERC staff contributed to content on the site.

STEM Futures
The STEM Futures project was a week-long virtual design-studio workshop experience for faculty in STEM disciplines to collaboratively develop new programs and curriculum materials. The goal was to advance innovative visions for STEM education that go beyond the acquisition of core content knowledge to integrate mindsets and values. SERC helped design and facilitate the online workshop process hosted through our website.

Pedagogy in Action
This pedagogic service capitalizes on the successful model of the Starting Point: Teaching Entry-Level Geosciences portal by allowing institutions and digital libraries partners to integrate information about effective pedagogy into their websites. Learn about the what, why, and how to implement more than 30 effective pedagogies, each of which is paired with a collection of ready-to-use activities. SERC has partnered with collaborators across disciplines to create a multi-disciplinary collection.
