Theresa!
Of

Science program (although Susan does most of the work!).

Nancy -- Do you know Susan Brown at NMSU - [log in to unmask]? Susan's worked
with us on a NASA and NSF project called ESSEA -Earth System Science Education
Alliance (http://essea.strategies.org). The ESSEA project includes
courses for elementary teachers.

Hello, all!
I
teach a graduate class for in-service teachers, Geology for Educators, that is
a review of the earth science content in the New Mexico education benchmarks
and standards plus how to teach that content through inquiry or guided
inquiry. The class is part of NMSU's Master of Arts in Teaching Science
degree program.
I'm
interested in talking with other people working in this area.
Peace,
Nancy

David if you know of a "Geoscience By Inquiry" or similar curriculum.
I think I've heard of someone working on this, but can't remember who!
CC
the list, too, if you don't mind - I'd like to know!
Take
care

courses for elementary teachers
Julie,
Are there any curricula available for geoscience courses specifically designed
for preservice elementary teachers? I'm thinking about something that would be
analogous to Physics by Inquiry, or Physics and Everyday Thinking. Do you know
people who are teaching such courses in earth and/or space science?
