ENHANCE YOU TEACHING-Great website resources

Enhance Your Teaching

he On the Cutting Edge Professional Development Program for Geoscience Faculty brings together workshops, websites, and research activities to support highest quality undergraduate geoscience education. Established in 2002 with NSF funding, more than 3000 faculty, post-docs and graduate students from over 900 institutions have participated in 109 face-to-face and virtual workshops and community-based research projects producing a website that has more than 9,000 pages of content and is visited by more than 1,000,000 users annually. The project has changed geoscience education in the United States legitimizing discussions of teaching, improving teaching practices, and establishing a culture of information and resource sharing that underpins continuous improvement in undergraduate geoscience instruction. This transformation was made possible by an investment of more than $8.5 million by the National Science Foundation over a thirteen year period.Learn More About Project Impact »

An integral part of the fabric of geoscience education and a major source of teaching resources, the program is now a cooperative venture of geoscience professional societies jointly managed by the National Association of Geoscience Teachers and the leaders of the NSF Grant (which will terminate in 2016). On the Cutting Edge programming has been expanded beyond beyond its original focus on courses, pedagogy and career management to include activities that strengthen departments. These activities build on workshop programs and websites that originated as part of the NSF-fundedBuilding Strong Geoscience Departments which involved more than 185 departments. The InTeGrate STEP Center for the Geosciences is also a major contributor to programming.
