Education and Research: Testing Hypotheses (EARTH) workshops bring teachers, scientists, and engineers together to develop effective methods for using near-real-time data from ocean observatories in the classroom. The Mercy College Center for STEM Education will host this year’s workshop during August 3-7 in Dobbs Ferry, New York. Participants are required to try out an EARTH lesson in their classroom after the workshop and submit a feedback rubric based on their experience.
During this workshop, educators work with active researchers to explore current science and/or engineering research, data, and conclusions. The educators are given time to develop their own curricula using the knowledge from these explorations and their own experiences to create classroom lessons tied to the abilities of their own students as well as current education standards and pedagogy.
Applications due by February 21, 2020.
