Teaching and Learning Earth Science in 3D Course Description:

Are you a K-12 educator struggling as to how to grasp and implement 3D learning in Earth Science? Teaching and Learning Earth Science in 3D gets in-service teachers directly involved in making sane shifts to their current strategies, in order to get students immersed in the real practices and cross-cutting concepts of science, as well as the content.  This course will be a blend of synchronous, and asynchronous learning, in order to facilitate practice and discussion in a manner that will be of immediate use to teachers in the classroom, but will also give an eye to long-term methods to make science learning cohesive and real. Teachers will develop a storyline on an Earth Science topic of their choice as a part of the course, with ample time and support to make it realistic and valuable for their students. Synchronous sessions will be required one Saturday a month (3 total), with shorter sessions available on weekday evenings, as determined by class need.  The first synchronous session will be 1 hour on August 26th, from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m., with remaining sessions to be determined together as the class unfolds.
