Campus-Wide and Regional Science Education Program Opportunities

Maintain a Teaching Resource Center

Develop a resource center for K-12 science teachers as well as for use by preservice teachers and the general public at your institute. This resource center can range from a discussion list-serve, an online web page with searchable resources, all the way to an on-campus facility with classrooms, materials, supplies, and an extensive library. Partner with other geoscience and education departments at nearby institutions to create a regional teaching resource center. There may even already be such a facility in your area! (See specific examples)

• If this exists already, how can faculty find them?
• How can faculty use these?
• How can faculty, departments, etc. move to create these types of programs?
