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.
What is InTeGrate

2. Interdisciplinary Teaching of Geoscience for a Sustainable Future
Geoscience must come together with other disciplines as our nation and the world struggle with significant environmental and resource challenges.
Meeting these challenges will require a savvy public, a new kind of workforce, and a broader understanding of geoscience by all who engage these issues
Gloss this quickly – the point is that geoscience is important both for the workforce and broad literacy

4. InTeGrate Workshops: Building Capacity for Interdisciplinary Teaching
Rubber meets the road – understanding the natural and human system well enough to take actions that lead to positive change.
Few of us have that level of understanding – how can we pass it on to our students?
Prudent action requires knowledge, insight, humility, compassion, team work and individual action --- how do we develop those skills in our students?
Upside – way engaging and fun, powerful, enables a difference

8. Materials Development Teams
Developed and tested by teams with members from at least 3 institutions
2 year commitment to development, testing, revision and publication
Supported by assessment team member to meet design rubric, develop embedded assessments for use in testing
$15,000 stipend for each team member
Materials development is the other big thing with opportunities right now. Empahsize that development is by teams with members from 3 institutions, that it is a 2 year commitents and that you have to be able/willing to use the materials in a course (or for the case of a course, teach the whole course) in the second year.
