Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
PROJECT GOALS Our goals: Geo-Needs Identify and clarify barriers and opportunities for better use of existing instructional resources that engage underrepresented students in the geosciences at 2YCs/MSIs Explore with stakeholders what an ideal model of resources, professional development, and ongoing support for faculty and institutions might look like

LOGISTICS Participant-authored webspace Geo-Needs How to log into your SERC account (make sure you use the email that you registered with!) Tour of our project webpage How to author in participant workspace ONE USER AT A TIME!! SAVE EARLY AND OFTEN!!
EXPECTATIONS Team Norms Activity What is a norm? Guidelines that shape interactions between team members Example: Minimize distractions Geo-Needs With your neighbor, brainstorm two possible norms for this meeting and write each on a sticky note Read and add to the poster Put similar ideas in clusters, or start a new cluster
EXPECTATIONS Team Norms Geo-Needs Everyone participates But OK to pass on a specific activity Be present and engaged Minimize distractions we have scheduled breaks for catching up with your regular life Civil discourse Critique the work, never the person Focus on positives, not just negatives
EXPECTATIONS Parking Lot Geo-Needs If you have a great idea but it is off topic, put it on a sticky note into the parking lot for later. Soapbox After each break we will have up to three slots for participants to tell the group whatever they want in 60 seconds.
