1. A five-year community effort to improve Earth literacy and build a workforce prepared to tackle environmental and resource issues
InTeGrate supports integrated interdisciplinary learning about resource and environmental issues across the undergraduate curriculum to create a sustainable and just civilization.

Three views of how to change undergraduate education
don’t know about or how to do – problem is learning about it enough to transform
Materials limited – takes time to make the stuff you need to teach this way; no textbooks; hard to get from data to activity that students can do with data – if we build it will they come; culture of creation
Problem is at the institutional level – can’t teach this stuff in existing programs, no rewards, - problem, if adminstration leads will faculty follow? Faculty as resources
PD builds on Cutting Edge and Building Strong Departments – culture of sharing at both course and program level; transforming attitude and approach (student centered learning informed by research; department as a team that plans and works together to address and shape goals of institution.
Other two pieces are new to me and new at this scale: Team based materials development, testing and publication at a large scale (150 faculty); implementation program development and testing (26 programs). Addresses need to support doing after learning required both learning and implementation

Same set of data as slide 6 - Based on a combination of a “teaching_materials_project” export completed on 1/18 and the results of the REACH survey.
4X number involved in authoring – most materials not yet available. Interdisciplinary reach --- earth across curriculum is a big win for this project. Most schools don’t have geo departments, most students don’t take geo.
