Hello Group -
I'm looking for some advice and it seems this site definately likes to
share ideas.
I'm currently student teaching in an urban school district, teaching a
section on earth science in 8th grade. Through some weird twist of fate
(or whatever you'd like to attribute this to), I was placed at in a
school district with no real earth science program and with a teacher
who has no experience in earth science. So I'm basicaslly on my own
deciding curriculum.
*****What kind of information would you, as professionals in the earth
science/geology profession, want these 8th grade kids to come away?****
Some background:
- I have a BS in geosciences from Penn State.
- I had worked for 9.5 years in the environmental remediation and
construction field.
- I am in a class called "technology in the classroom" which led me
(back) to this site; as an undergrad, i was looking for info on a
trilobite extinction about a decade ago and posted on here (and
to-date, have still not received any response! (kidding))
Thanks for your input ... I'd like to take your responses and
incorporate them in to my curriculum for student teaching and for when
i begin teaching my first year.
beth
