New K–12 Field Workshops Coming for 2018

GSA is revising its GeoTeachers program to reach more teachers at less
cost with a series of annual professional development workshops in states
around the country. The workshops will be designed for teachers to
• Focus on the local geology, geoscience processes, and hazards;
• Explore sites where geologic resource extraction, refining, and waste

mitigation can be observed;
• Learn from geologists in academia, industry, and government providing

career insights for classroom use;
• Participate in activities tied to classroom needs and local standards

presented by master teachers;
• Obtain field guides, hand samples, and other resource materials for

classroom use;
• Earn continuing education/graduate credit for professional

development purposes; and
• Join a community of practice with follow-up webinars and activities

designed to assist classroom implementation.
Teachers interested in participating in these workshops should register
