Recommendations For Learners: - Work more independently - Linkages to real-world via service learning/ internships - Customized/ targeted curriculum & work flows - Learn basics & fundamentals - Learn image processing & data warehousing - Be exposed to broad array of applications - Understand how to qualify for GISP certification - Understand their role as trainers in the workplace

Recommendations For Colleges & Universities: - Use CCs' ability to address workforce needs - Provide greater variety of formats, incl. continuing education, hybrid, distance - Provide opportunities for discipline-specific curriculum - Provide more options at the master's level - Bring smaller schools together, increase efficiency with distance education

Recommendations Grease skids between K12/ CC/ 4yr schools/ graduate: - Clearer Career Pathways (focus of current proposal) - Articulation - One-stop "Marketplace" for GIS education - Outreach to High School Seniors & Early College Opportunities - More collaboration and coordination among schools

Recommendations Reach K12: - Geographic/ Spatial Literacy - Basic GIS (or not-so-basic), overcome "Mac problem" - Change Maine Learning Results - Work with teachers - Get GIS into voc tech

Recommendations Further research: More Conversations with Graduates of Current Programs More conversations with industry and managers Look for models/ best practices outside of Maine Define career pathways and core competencies

Recommendations Other ideas: - Help desk/on call support options for students - Outreach to managers and employers

Current Initiatives: - Virtual Center for Geospatial Technology - Plans for a new, shared master's in applied GIS - Website: gis.maine.edu - clearinghouse for GIS ed - Proposal for MTI cluster project with GST employers - Proposal to develop materials on tech careers in Maine - Research & PD on teaching and learning GIS - Hybrid & distance courses & programs are now available - Evaluation of Mac-based options for GIS on MLTI laptops

Next Steps Draft report will be sent for feedback to... - Summit attendees - ATE grant advisors - External evaluators

Next Steps Final report will also be sent to... - Chancellor & presidents of UMS - President of MCCS & presidents of CCs - GeoLibrary Board Published on our site: gis.maine.edu
