1. Welcome to the 2016 InTeGrate Professional Development Webinar Series
Free and open to the public, this series aims to help faculty teach about the earth in the context of societal issues. The series incorporates InTeGrate principles into teaching practices, provides materials available for adoption, and creates a forum for participants to learn and share teaching strategies.
Alice will introduce the series and say a few words about InTeGrate

2. Developing Graduate Students’ Teaching Capacity with InTeGrate Materials

3. Webinar Overview
Importance of learning to teach to graduate students and post-docs
Models for helping graduate students and post-docs develop teaching skills
How InTeGrate materials are scaffolded to improve learning and support teaching
Opportunities
Participant Reflection
Wrap-up and Evaluation

4. Graduate Student Perspective: Megan D’Errico
Stanford InTeGrate Implementation Program 2015
Climate of Change
3 sections of 60 students at San Jose State

5. Gained from InTeGrate experience:
Explore teaching-focused academic career
Develop time management skills, balance of research and teaching
Confidence in teaching abilities and skills

6. Next Steps: Post-doc in Science Education Teaching Mineralogy
Feel free to contact me with questions:

7. How do graduate students and post-docs fit in?
Faculty advisors often expect them to be focused on research
Departments often expect them to teach to receive a stipend
Support for developing teaching skills and experience is often sidelined
A variety of research and teaching experiences can help with career decisions

8. Individual opportunities
Programmatic opportunities

9. Programmatic opportunity: Stanford Implementation Program

10. Preparing to teach Day 1 Day 2 Introduction to InTeGrate
Engagement in data-rich activity and debrief
Backward design
Metacognition
Explore InTeGrate modules
Mini-teaching with feedback
Reminder of resources and using the website
Common outcomes
Reality check
Excitement about community and resources for teaching

11. InTeGrate materials employ best practices
The following are extracted from InTeGrate’s development rubric:
Course/module:
addresses one or more geoscience-related grand challenges facing society
develops student ability to address interdisciplinary problems
improves student understanding of the nature and methods of geoscience and developing geoscientific habits of mind
makes use of authentic and credible geoscience data to learn central concepts in the context of geoscience methods of inquiry
incorporates systems thinking

12. InTeGrate materials employ best practices, cont.
The following are extracted from InTeGrate’s development rubric:
Instructional materials
should be sufficiently diverse and at the depth necessary for students to achieve learning objectives and goals
are current
Learning strategies and activities
promote student engagement with the materials
develop student metacognition
provide opportunities for students to practice communicating geoscience
scaffold learning

13. Some aspects of InTeGrate modules
Author name – feel free to contact
Clear learning goals that are linked to (included) assessments
Context spells out what students should already know, the type of class this can be used, etc.
Handy menu
All needed materials are included

14. Some aspects of InTeGrate modules, cont.
Description and Teaching Materials
Often several options for activities
Anticipated time for each is provided
Other tips are found in Instructor Stories

15. Example: scaffolding
2. Students start by filling out a partially completed map
1. Background information is provided about what concept maps are and how they help student learning
3. Other exercises require students to interpret concept maps
4. Students can draw a map to tie together concepts from the entire module as an assessment

16. Other programmatic opportunities

17. Other programmatic opportunities

18. Individual opportunities
Career Prep at EER
Workshops at GSA and AGU
Design of materials supports individual adoption (Joy will tell you more)

19. Join NAGT

20. Resources Modules Climate of Change
Humans’ Dependence on Earth’s Mineral Resources
Implementation Program
Stanford Implementation Program
Assessment Tool
Concept Maps
Hopefully you have more questions than you did at the beginning! Here are some great places to go for more information on specific concepts and approaches
Still need to compile these and add here and to the website. Will just highlight a few key ones on this slide then refer them to the webinar site

21. After reflecting on this prompt for a moment, please use the ‘chat’ feature to write a few sentences.
What kinds of opportunities do you either provide, or take advantage of, for training graduate students and/or post-docs in teaching?
You are also welcome to ask other questions for discussion at this time.
