Evidence shows the exponential increase in student performance by using the Micro-Spiral Method (MSM) of instruction is effective in overcoming absenteeism and loss of instructional time which has helped increase state science test scores for well over a decade (e.g., Developmental Research School in Tallahassee, Florida). MSM uses a recursive repetition model that causes a deeper understanding of concepts, knowledge, and skills with each successive encounter building on the previous encounters (Davis, 2015). With the application of MSM, FL state science scores have increased overall with notable increases among students from historically excluded communities, and even significant gains among these groups in geoscience scores (Florida Department of Education (DOE), Statewide Science Assessment 2009-2020). Targeted application of MSM to the geosciences could provide transgenerational, transcultural, and transformational solutions for geoscience educators and students. The current project seeks to establish an MSM geosciences "train the trainer program" which will help interest more students from historically excluded communities into pursuing geosciences as a possible career pathway.The proposed Summit is to gather key stakeholders in the planning of the Micro-Spiral Method Community of Practice with an additional focus on scaling the successful MSM train the trainer workshops that occurred in 2019 and 2021. Stakeholder groups will mainly be comprised of geoscientists and STEM educators. This phased program will engage geoscientists and STEM educators from Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in the following activities: 1) Phase One, provision of advanced MSM train the trainer workshops for MSI participant cohorts, primarily in the southeastern U.S. Diverse cohorts of geoscientists and STEM educators will be trained by MSM experts with an emphasis on geosciences, including careers beyond the traditional geoscience academic trajectories with focused instruction on future science educators; 2) Phase Two, trained individuals from the Phase One cohorts will be deployed to their respective local districts to initiate the expansion of the MSM train-the-trainer process in each respective district with a continued emphasis on using MSM for teaching geoscience content.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.

有证据表明，使用微实验方法（MSM）的学生表现呈指数增长有效地克服缺勤和教学时间损失，这有助于提高了十多年来的州科学考试成绩（例如，佛罗里达州塔拉哈西的发展研究学校）。 MSM使用递归重复模型，该模型对概念，知识和技能有更深入的了解，并在先前的相遇中进行了每次连续的相遇（Davis，2015）。随着MSM的应用，佛罗里达州科学的得分总体上提高了，随着历史上被排除的社区的显着增加，这些群体的地球科学得分的显着增长（佛罗里达州教育部（DOE），州范围的科学评估，2009-2020）。 MSM在地球科学上的有针对性应用可以为地球科学教育者和学生提供跨代，跨文化和变革性的解决方案。当前的项目旨在建立MSM地球科学“培训培训师计划”，这将使更多的学生从历史上排除的社区作为可能的职业途径追求地球科学。拟议的首脑会议是在计划中，在计划中，培训成功的MSM培训的主要利益社区的主要利益相关者在计划中培训了MSM的培训群体，该组合的成员培训了MSM的培训。地球科学家和STEM教育者。该分阶段的计划将与地球科学家和STOM教育者一起从少数派服务机构（MSI）参与以下活动：1）第一阶段，提供高级MSM的培训，培训MSI参与者同伙的培训师研讨会，主要是在美国东南部的各种地球科学家和STEM教育者培训的培训，包括MSM的专家，包括Geascis的专家，包括Geasciens的专家，包括Geascients，包括地球的专家关于未来的科学教育者； 2) Phase Two, trained individuals from the Phase One cohorts will be deployed to their respective local districts to initiate the expansion of the MSM train-the-trainer process in each respective district with a continued emphasis on using MSM for teaching geoscience content.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.
