[LTER-education] February EOC meeting this Thursday!

Thu Feb 7 14:04:08 PST 2019

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your contributions today. Official minutes will follow closer to next month's meeting (as usual), but given some group action items that emerged, I'm sending a draft version now to help remind everyone where to contribute.
Best,
Cora

  1.  New Business
     *   NCO updates – Sam Norlin, Marty Downs
        *   Call for network wide webinar requests
        *   Jill et al are working on our 2 page committee summary for 40 year review
        *   Each site should be ready (or already working on) a report of education activities for the last 10 years, especially focused on successes that relied on long-term or network collaboration
        *   Science Council meeting is May in Puerto Rico
        *   NCO is working on their renewal proposal – for less $, more work; accepting reasonable requests for services
        *   Check out #LTERlove for February… also, something new/secret rolling out soon
     *   EB updates – Annette
        *   Turnover from Peter Groffman to Diane due in June
        *   Setting agenda design and items for Science Council meeting, especially considering common challenges (operational, beyond the science)
        *   RFP for NCO (less $)
           *   Some survey mystery, with take-away that EOC will help get teacher responses if a similar future survey is sent for 40yr
     *   EOC updates – Cora
        *   New working groups folders on Team Drive
           *   RET proposals also shared
           *   Upon request, Cora is adding ROA and “Needs assessment” (or "front end evaluation") share folders
              *   ROA is in the "Research Experience for..." WG folder (with RET folder)
              *   "Assessments and Metrics" (for needs assessments) is free floating in WG folder
                 *   Janice will contribute some examples to start
        *   Call for conference dates on shared spreadsheet
           *   Confirmed that this is to share info on any conference that might be of interest to other EOC members
  2.  Guest Speakers: Incorporating Land Use Change into education and outreach – Pamela Snow and Clarisse Hart
     *   See slides at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/172sViCGmgCy2SYzEzfUPB-ucFdB8836XQ3UQyGWh-VQ/edit#slide=id.p1
     *   Central questions and potential for follow up:
        *   How is each site using “site science” in school programming?
        *   HFR uses “Land use change” – how generally relevant is this or similar topic as a shared perspective for teaching with site science? Other ideas?
        *   Program development discussion points
           *   Mini grants to teachers for curriculum development à perhaps add some framework/structure (E’s, NGSS, etc); demonstration classroom
           *   Broadening participation à how to get Title 1 schools in the door; trip scholarships haven’t done the trick yet.
              *   Jill suggests community connections/advocates (trusted messenger)
  3.  Working Group and Site Updates/Announcements
     *   Nick Oehm – LTeaER project
        *   Working on this as a cross-site initiative
           *   Complete Doodle survey to discuss: https://doodle.com/poll/c3g54zzteem4qcmg
           *   Learn more about program: http://www.teatime4science.org/
     *   Alan – Sense of Place/iLTER, 40-year review, higher ed -- Time crunch/no Alan = not covered

Hi all!

Happy February! I hope everyone is staying warm, especially those who suffered through the polar vortex/cold air outbreak last week! This month, we have the pleasure of hearing from Pamela and Clarisse about land use change in addition to all our normal shenanigans. Cora will be facilitating as I am out of the office. I look forward to reading the minutes and catching up with everyone in March! February agenda and January minutes (thanks Sam and Jill!) are attached to this email.
