Comment on this resource
This 16-week online graduate course for middle school teachers is offered by colleges and universities across the United States as part of the NASA ESSEA Program (Earth System Science Education Alliance). The course implements a student-centered Earth system science-based classroom where participants learn from the student's point of view. Participating teachers: analyze the impact of Earth events on spheres (hydrosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere); Develop Earth systems models; experience the jigsaw approach to studying the fundamental spheres of Earth System Science; create ESS activities to use with their students; and use journals for individual reflections on those issues concerned with changes or modifications to beliefs about teaching and learning.-
