The Preparing Teachers to Teach Earth Science project website has not been significantly updated since 2007. We are preserving the web pages here because they still contain useful and ideas and content. But be aware that it may have out of date information.

Campus-Wide and Regional Science Education Program Opportunities

Created by Jennifer L. B. Anderson, Ph.D., SERC, Carleton College.


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?
