  1. InTeGrateTeaching MaterialsGuiding Principles New Module/Course Author Meeting November 9 – 11, 2014

  2. InTeGrate Teaching Materials Development Connect geoscience to grand challenges facing society Foster systems thinking Make use of authentic and credible geoscience data Guiding Principles Improve student understanding of the nature and methods of geoscience and developing geoscientific habits of mind (geoscientific thinking skills) Develop students' ability to address interdisciplinary problems Outcome: Your course/module will address these principles.

  3. The Good News: You are all here because your proposals addressed all five guiding principles – You are already well on the pathway to success.

  4. The Challenge: Meeting the criteria of the rubric You are beginning your journey, and meeting the rubric is a rigorous trail

  5. More Good News: You are not alone! There are lots of people and resources to help you, and models of success.

  6. For Each Principle Why it is a guiding principle Key tip for addressing it successfully Resources to help you

  7. Grand Challenges Why is this a guiding principle? To highlight the relevance of geoscience to societal issues and to motivate students to get engaged now and in the future. Key tip Choose one to focus on, and be specific. Resources InTeGrate: What are societal issues?

  8. InterdisciplinaryProblem Solving Why is this a guiding principle? We need interdisciplinary problem solvers in all disciplines, and that skill can only be developed through practice and fostering connections between the disciplines.

  9. InterdisciplinaryProblem Solving Recognize differences in ways of knowing and researching (Epistemology) “You and me, we come from different worlds” Hootie and the Blowfish Why is this a guiding principle?

  10. InterdisciplinaryProblem Solving Key tip Listen to your colleagues - Empathy Resources InTeGrate: Interdisciplinary sustainability Interdisciplinary approaches to teaching

  11. Geoscientific Thinking Why is this a guiding principle? Geoscience brings a unique perspective to interdisciplinary problems, and it is useful for everyone to understand that perspective. Key tip Be explicit. Demonstrate your habits of mind. Provide opportunities for students to practice Resources InTeGrate: Geoscientific thinking GSA special papers

  12. Geoscientific Thinking GSA special papers

  13. Authentic Geoscience Data Why is this a guiding principle? We have tremendous datasets available to us that allow students to work with real-world issues and internalize spatial and temporal variability. Key tip Data need to be “massaged” for use in classroom Give context/evidence to real-world issues Resources Teaching with data

  14. Systems Thinking Why is this a guiding principle? Earth is a complex, dynamic system Students need to develop systems thinking skills. Key tip Use explicit systems language Do it in context Go beyond the “everything is connected everything else” generalization Resources InTeGrate: Teaching systems thinking Developing student understanding…
