  2. Education Overview Barbara Bruno C-MORE Education Director NSF Site Visit June 2014

  3. C-MORE Education team Long-term (3 FTE) Students and post-docs (part-time) Bruno Foley Guannel Wood-Charlson Fong Weersing Wong-Ala Year 8 Leveraged funding Choy Thomas Wren Keahi

  4. 134 C-MORE personnel involved in K-16 education and outreach Abaya, Alegado, Alexander, Alvarez-Valdez, Anthony, Ayau, Baker, Barone, Bays, Becker, Benway, Berube, Bidigare, Biller, Birch, Björkman, Boiteau, Böttjer, Boyle, Bruno, Bryant, Bump, Carrasco, Casey, Chen, Chinaka, Chisholm, Church, Clah, Clemente, Crews, Cubillos-Ruiz, Curless, DeLong, del Valle, Díaz-Negrón, Doggett, Doney, Diaz, Duhamel, Dyhrman, Economy, Ferrón, Fitzsimmons, Foley, Fong, Fontanez, Frank, Frischkorn, Fujieki, Gifford, Gimpel, Goldberg, Goodson, Grabowski, Gradoville, Guannel, Haley, Hall, Hawco, Hayakawa, Irvine, Johnson, Jungbluth, Karl, Kavanaugh, Ki‘ili, Kolber, Lazaro, Lefevre, Letelier, Longo, Loretero, Lum, Lyman, Mackey, Marin, Martin, Martinez-Garcia, Matsumoto, Michelou, Moos, Moran, Mueller, Mura, Nelson, Nigro, Noble, Oje, Pargett, Park, Pelve, Porter, Poulos, Quiocho, Rappé, Repeta, Rii, Robidart, Rouco-Molina, Sadler, Sakamoto, Samo, Scholin, Schvarcz, Searson, Segura-Noguera, Shilova, Shulse, G Steward, K Steward, Tanaka, Taylor, K Thomas, S Thomas, Thompson, Truong, Turano, Turk-Kubo, Updyke, Ussler, Valliere, Viviani, Wai, Watkins, White, Wilson, Wong, Wong-Ala, Wood-Charlson, Wren, Yelton, Yoshizawa, Zehr Integration between education & research

  5. Today’s focus Key education programs Legacy Sustainability

  6. C-MORE Education Goals Increase scientific literacy in microbial oceanography. Produce leaders in the next generation of microbial oceanographers by providing state-of-the-art training. Increase the number of underrepresented minorities pursuing careers in the ocean and earth sciences, and related disciplines.

  7. C-MORE Science Kits • 7 standards-based science kits • 15 lending libraries nationwide • All lessons and teaching guides online • Sustainability • Online resources • Continued libraries • Kit replication To date: >1000 loans by 422 educators (80,800 students) Year 8: >227 loans by 120 educators (21,000 students)

  8. Microscopes in Middle Schools • Equipment in schools (based on plankton kit) • Teacher-training workshops through DOE • Teacher-to-teacher peer training • To date: 46* (57%) of Hawaii’s middle schools • Year 8: Phase II – advanced training (12)* *All are minority-serving institutions

  9. Ocean FEST & TECH (grades 3-12) • Hands-on science activities • Career focus • Near-peer teaching • Sustainability • Online resources • Events preceded by teacher-training To date: 128 events, 21,000* participants, 636 teachers/volunteers Year 8: 33 events, 7100* participants, 400 educators *Mostly underrepresented

  10. Grants for Education in Microbial Science (GEMS) “Students working with scientists in their environment … may be one of the most powerful tools to recruitment. Last year was the first year [we] went to Coconut Island .... Had it not been for C-MORE's contribution, students would not been able to afford [it]” - GEMS award recipient Sustainability To date: 91 awards, 19,000 students* Year 8: 13 awards, 1171 students* OCEAN & EARTH SCIENCES MINI-GRANT APPLICATION *Mostly underrepresented

  11. Science Teachers Aboard Research Ships (STARS) “I feel this has been the most inspiring, enjoyable, and useful professional development experience I have had in my two and a half decades of teaching. Please keep it going as long as you’re able.” - STARS teacher To date: 59 teachers Year 8: 6 teachers • Sustainability • HOT program

  12. C-MORE Scholars Program • Undergraduate research program • Goal: Broadening participation To date: 65 scholars (43 Under-Represented Minorities) Year 8: 16 scholars (12 URM; 6 leveraged) • Sustainability • Strong interest from a private foundation

  13. 41 C-MORE Scholars earned Bachelors Degrees!

  14. Professional Development Training Program (PDTP) • Outreach • Leadership • Proposal Writing • Mentoring • Diversity • Teaching • Research Exchange • Science Communication To date: 150 participated; 61 completed at least one module Year 8: 90 participated; 22 completed at least one module • Sustainability • UH graduate seminar

  15. OCN 750: Professional Development Spring 2014 Instructors: Bruno & Guannel Part 2: Expanding Your Career Toolkit Part 1: Developing Skills, Experience & Awareness To date: 24 graduate students & 3 post-docs (offered twice) Class projects: networking workshop, career mixer, Native Hawaiian mentoring program, teaching portfolios, resource brochures & websites.

  16. EDventures:Venture Capital for Education External education Novel High risk Collaborative Outreach Research Outreach & Training Research & Training • Sustainability • Students now trained to seek external funds Training To date: 42 awards Year 8: 6 awards Internal Education

  17. C-MORE Summer Training Course • 6-week intensive lab/field experience • International participation including developing countries • Faculty:student ratio  1 To date (2006-2013): 123 students (83 female), 275 days of class, 96 days in the lab, 72 days at sea “Amazing how well all of the course leaders pulled this together - what an undertaking!” – Student

  18. Summative Evaluation • Evaluate efficacy and document impacts • Short-term: Pre-post surveys, exit interviews • Long-term: Tracking of program participants • Essential for publications and leveraging funds to ensure sustainability beyond NSF/C-MORE funding
