Part 1The Nation recognizes the need to improve STEM education to meet the workforce needs of the 21st century, increase the scientific literacy of its citizens and communities, and improve participation by groups currently underrepresented in the sciences. These challenges are particularly acute in the geosciences where: workforce need is predicted to grow; geoscientific literacy is foundational for an effective response to natural hazards, environmental challenges, and resources needs; and diversity lags behind other science disciplines. The cyberinfrastructure and community support infrastructure provided by SERC and NAGT play a key role in supporting geoscience educators and the geoscience education research communities in improving geoscience education and increasing equitable access to learning opportunities. This workshop will support the evolution of this community infrastructure, maximizing its utility and reach in meeting these challenges.Part 2A workshop will be held to consider the infrastructure needs of the geoscience education community and make recommendations for future infrastructure development. A broadly representative group of 30 geoscience educators and geoscience education researchers will be assembled for a two-day meeting at Carleton College. Meeting attendees will review the infrastructure support currently provided to thegeoscience education community by the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) including its collaborations with the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT) and make recommendations focused on four areas:1. Strengthening existing infrastructure elements including the underpinning cyberinfrastructure.2. Bringing the infrastructure into wider use, including addressing any barriers to use by differentelements of the community.3. Additions to the infrastructure that would enhance use including within geoscience educationresearch.4. Use of the infrastructure to support improvements in diversity, equity, and inclusion in geoscienceeducation and geoscience education research.The workshop recommendations will be shared broadly with the community through a dedicated website.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第1部分国家意识到有必要改善STEM教育，以满足21世纪的劳动力需求，提高其公民和社区的科学素养，并改善当前在科学中代表不足的团体的参与。这些挑战在地球科学中尤为严重：预计劳动力需求将增长；地球科学素养是针对自然危害，环境挑战和资源需求的有效回应的基础。多样性落后于其他科学学科。 SERC和NAGT提供的网络基础设施和社区支持基础设施在支持地球科学教育者和地球科学教育研究社区中起着关键作用，以改善地球科学教育并增加公平获得学习机会。该研讨会将支持该社区基础设施的发展，最大限度地提高其实用性和应对这些挑战。第2A部分研讨会将被举行，以考虑地球科学教育社区的基础设施需求，并为未来的基础设施发展提出建议。一个由30个地球科学教育者和地球科学教育研究人员组成的广泛代表团体将在卡尔顿学院举行为期两天的会议。会议参与者将审查科学教育资源中心（SERC）目前提供给Geoscienciencience教育社区的基础设施支持，包括与国家地球科学教师协会（NAGT）的合作，并提出专注于四个领域的建议：1。加强现有的基础设施元素，包括基础网络基础设施2。将基础设施带入更广泛的用途，包括解决社区不同元素使用的任何障碍3。在基础设施中增加了将增强使用的使用，包括在地球科学教育研究中。4。利用基础设施来支持地球科学教育和地球科学教育研究中多样性，公平和包容性的改善。该研讨会的建议将通过专门的网站与社区广泛分享。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过基金会的知识优点和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过评估的支持。
