Geo-Needs An NSF funded project to explore barriers and opportunities for enhancing geoscience instruction at two-year colleges and minority-serving institutions Welcome – Sunday night dinner. First we’ll do introductions of everyone (you and us) – SPEED DATING (Dave to facilitate) Then introduce the project, goals, and activities, and talk about how you might want to spend your week at the Rendezvous.

EER WORKSHOP GOALS Geo-Needs Build capacity of individuals and institutions to offer geoscience courses and programs Offer professional development to faculty and administrators with limited experience in the geosciences Develop an Action Plan to increase instruction in Earth Sciences at MSIs and 2YCs serving underrepresented students Collect and share Action Plans on the Geo-Needs website Geo-Needs Briefly review 4 goals of EER workshop.

POP-UP PRESENTATIONS Geo-Needs Participants share examples of programs that have successfully recruited students from underrepresented groups to the geosciences Geo-Needs Dave to facilitate: Eric Baer Wendi Williams Diana Dahlbotten Karen Yip

4+1 Accelerated Professional Science Masters in Environmental Assessment Ben Wolfe and Mark Jakubauskas, University of Kansas Edwards Campus Exploring partnership between Env. Studies departments at KU and Haskell Indian Nations Univ. Haskell students apply to the environmental studies program in the spring of year 3 for permission to start the accelerated track. All requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies from Haskell completed or in progress. Two letters of recommendation from faculty qualified to judge the student’s preparation for, and potential to complete, the 4+1 track; at least one of the letters must be from an EVRN faculty member. Major and cumulative GPA of at least 3.2. Statement of interest that summarizes the students’ interests, education, long‐term career goals, and how the accelerated degree program will help achieve those goals. If accepted, students must take 9 hrs. during year 4 of approved courses as part of the PSM in Environmental Assessment graduate curriculum for undergraduate credit. Following completion of the bachelor’s degree, students will need to enroll in at least 24 graduate hrs. during the summer and year 5 to complete the requirements of the PSM in Environmental Assessment graduate program.

COURSE / CURRIC. / PROGRAM OUTLINE DEVELOPMENT Geo-Needs Individual writing time – Work on action plan items: Key concepts, skills, or topics to be included Example activities Pedagogic strategies and methods Curricular design Key program elements (fieldwork, research, outreach, internship, etc.)

DESIGN FOR SUCCESS Geo-Needs Individual writing time – Work on action plan items: What barriers to student or program success do you anticipate? How can you overcome these? What strategies and methods can be used to ensure success for ALL students? What Institutional or other stakeholder support will you need? Geo-Needs

PRACTICAL MATTERS Geo-Needs Individual writing time – Work on action plan items: What continuing professional development support do you and your faculty/staff needs Recruitment and Dissemination Plans Budget and in-kind support for your course / curriculum / program Timeline Evaluation and Assessment Geo-Needs

PLEASE SAVE ACTION PLANS BEFORE YOU LEAVE! REFLECTION AND WRAP-UP Whole group report-out: What progress have you made on your action plan? What do you have left to do? Where do you still need help? How can we (or others at the EER) help you? Geo-Needs PLEASE SAVE ACTION PLANS BEFORE YOU LEAVE!
