  2. You and your rock... • Every rock tells a story. • What story does your rock tell? • Where was it born? • Who were it’s ancestors? • What has it been through? • Why does your rock look the way it does? • Introduce yourself and your rock to the group (in less than 10 minutes).

  3. Consent forms • of various sorts...

  4. About good teaching... • Share a story of some of the best science teaching you’ve ever experienced, either as a teacher or as a student.

  5. How do you knowwhat you know? What’s something you understand or know how to do really well? • How do you know? • How did you gain that understanding or skill? • What does that have to do with how you teach?

  6. Questions/Issues • What does research say about how people learn? • How should research on how people learn inform how we teach? • Why are we here? • What does good professional development look like? • What does good teaching look like? • Can we build teacher networks?

  7. Program Objectives • Effectively teach key principles of Earth system science across multiple scales. • Create and share a virtual fieldwork experience that facilitates inquiry teaching. • Offer and receive teaching support within a network of professionals. • Critically evaluate approaches to and materials for teaching.

  8. How will we know if we meet our objectives? • What kinds of evidence would convince you someone teaches through inquiry? • Is it the same kind of evidence that would convince the National Science Foundation?

  9. We want you to substantiate these claims: • I understand the key principles of Earth system science across multiple scales; • At the completion of my class, students understand key principles of the discipline; • I will create a VFE that facilitates meaningful geoscience inquiry and share that with a community of peers; • I am networked to other teachers in ways that support my continuing professional development; • I will critically evaluate my own teaching approach and materials and that of my colleagues.

  10. Where are we going? • Canyon Lake Gorge • Heritage Museum of Texas Hill Country • Natural Bridge Caverns (tomorrow) • See Google Earth tour

  11. Logistics: • Drink lots of water! • Tell us if there is anything we should know: • bee sting allergies... • If you’re feeling poorly... • The first aid kit is in the van. • Cell phone numbers: • Chris: 607-592-2432 • Don: 315-790-8569 • Richard: 312-350-0187 • Sara: 517-214-0652
