1. This work is supported by the National Science Foundation’s Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM program within the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (DUE-1245025). I NTRO TO GETSI FOR P ILOT -T ESTERS The webinar begins at: 2 pm PT | 3 pm MT For audio, call: 1-877-668-4490 (or 1-408-792-6300) Access Code: 572 211 618 Press *6 to mute and unmute (but hopefully we won’t need any muting) Headphones give less feedback than speakerphone.

2. W EBINAR G OALS By the end of the webinar you will be able to: Describe GETSI and its guiding principles State what data will be collected, why, and how (GLE, attitudinal surveys, student work) Find more information and resources as you need on the GETSI website to support beta- testing

3. GETSI – TEACHING MATERIALS W / GEODESY DATA

5. GETSI-SERC RELATIONSHIP GETSI largely uses the InTeGrate model for development (as practical) GETSI largely uses InTeGrate assessment process for module quality and student learning evidence GETSI site is hosted by SERC

6. A five-year community effort to improve geoscience literacy and build a workforce prepared to tackle environmental and resource issues An NSF STEP Center DUE-1125331 InTeGrate supports the teaching of geoscience in the context of societal issues both within geoscience courses and across the undergraduate curriculum.

7. Geoscience must come together with other disciplines as our nation and the world struggle with significant environmental and resource challenges. Meeting these challenges will require a savvy public, a new kind of workforce, and a broader understanding of geoscience by all who engage these issues USGS Barefoot Photographers of Tilonia Interdisciplinary Teaching of Geoscience for a Sustainable Future

12. B. I NTERDISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS ( GEOSCIENCE & SOCIAL SCIENCE TIED TOGETHER ) GETSI Year 1 modules Majors – learning to identify earthquake faults and rupture characteristics to better protect critical societal infrastructure Intro – analyze societal consequences of sea level rise

13. C. N ATURE AND METHODS OF SCIENCE Integrating Geoscientific thinking into learning materialsGeoscientific  Single most important thing you can do is to simply make your thinking explicit Think aloud to students as you reason through a geoscientific question Ask students to explore the uncertainty in data rather than just the data itself Add reflective prompts to existing activities that involve open- ended inquiry or research projects Ask students how and why they would address a problem rather than solve the problem (Ex. designing a field investigation)

14. D. A UTHENTIC GEODESY DATA AND INQUIRY P ARTICULARLY CRITICAL ASPECT OF GETSI GETSI Year 1 modules Intro – satellite sea level, tidal gauge, GRACE satellite [gravity], temperature, GPS for ice mass changes Majors – LiDAR, InSAR

15. E. [S YSTEMS T HINKING ] Earth is a complex and dynamic system Students need to understand that changes in one part of the system can affect other parts Systems thinking strategies – Explicitly highlight connections in discussions/lecture – Concept maps – Case studies – Simple models
