Geology (42)This Phase 3 CCLI project is part of a collaborative that is extending and expanding on the highly successful 'On the Cutting Edge' CCLI-ND program of workshops supporting faculty professional development at all stages of their career.Seventeen workshops are being offered covering emerging as well as mature topics in science and pedagogy, teaching strategies for core courses in the geoscience curriculum, course design, issues faced by early career faculty, and preparation for an academic career. Many of these are multi-day workshops held on college campuses while the 'Course Design' and 'Preparing for an Academic Career' workshops are one-day workshops held at professional meetings. Web resources are also being developed in association with the workshops and are available on The Cutting Edge website. This project is also training new geoscience education reform leaders through a series of Leaders in Training workshops and mentoring programs.Research is being conducted to understand the cycle of educational innovation in the geosciences and the impact of the workshops on geoscience education methodology and effectiveness. The research is addressing four fundamental areas: the nature of the cycle of innovation and its implementation in the geosciences, the specific roles that Cutting Edge activities and resources play in this cycle, the role of discipline-specific professional development in education innovation, and the interplay between the cycle of educational innovation and scientific innovation.

地质学 (42)这个第 3 阶段 CCLI 项目是合作项目的一部分，该项目正在扩展和扩展非常成功的“前沿”CCLI-ND 研讨会计划，支持教师职业生涯各个阶段的专业发展。 正在举办 17 个研讨会课程涵盖科学和教育学领域的新兴和成熟主题、地球科学课程核心课程的教学策略、课程设计、早期职业教师面临的问题以及学术生涯的准备。 其中许多是在大学校园举办的多日研讨会，而“课程设计”和“为学术生涯做准备”研讨会是在专业会议上举办的为期一天的研讨会。 网络资源也正在与研讨会联合开发，可在 The Cutting Edge 网站上获取。 该项目还通过一系列领导者培训研讨会和指导计划来培训新的地球科学教育改革领导者。正在进行研究以了解地球科学教育创新的周期以及研讨会对地球科学教育方法和有效性的影响。 该研究涉及四个基本领域：创新周期的性质及其在地球科学中的实施、尖端活动和资源在该周期中发挥的具体作用、特定学科专业发展在教育创新中的作用以及教育创新与科学创新循环之间的相互作用。
