AGU '09 Event: Career interest begins at an early age!
The mission of IDPO’s Education Program is to enable effective educational outreach to teachers, students and the public on behalf of, and in collaboration with, the ice drilling and coring community.
Activities support two primary goals:
- Providing materials and services for educational audiences
- Building a collaborative infrastructure to leverage research outcomes and outreach activities from individually funded ice core projects
How IDPO Can Support You:
AGU '10 teachers analyze McConnell data in new activity
- Partnering for "Broader Impacts" on NSF Proposals (Note: you must contact IDPO via an email to linda.m.morris@dartmouth.edu at least six weeks before you submit your proposal.)
- Featuring You/Your Science at Education Conferences (see Past Participants below)
- Tailoring Presentations for Education Audiences: (Generic Sample for Your Use Coming Soon…)
- Scheduling Classroom Visits: Pre-planning with Teacher and Scientist; Lesson Design
- Translating Your Research for Public Audiences
- Conducting Local Workshops, with Travel Support Provided by Your Project
Collaboration Opportunities:
- Create and/or share existing video clips, simulations or photos from your university or lab
(Example: http://streaming.ems.psu.edu/geosc10/Antarctica1.mov) - Provide local museum and/or state/national contacts and event opportunities
- Submit articles which have been published for public audiences (Science, newspapers, etc.) for dissemination
(Examples: http://www.climate-expeditions.org/public/links.html#news) - Share research papers you’d like translated for public audiences (Expect a call to discuss!)
- Submit a career story
(Examples: http://www.climate-expeditions.org/students/careers.html) - Share your outreach data (see Outreach Metrics sheet below)
- Volunteer to do a conference presentation or classroom visit. Please see the Checking Out Your Team videoconference-based activity at www.climate-expeditions.org/educators/activities.html

Hands-on classroom visit with Mark.
For those of you who would like in-depth information about current educational standards and pedagogy (the art of teaching), the following two web resources offer valuable background information, checklists and how-tos related primarily to classroom visits:
National Earth Science Teachers Association: Scientists in Schools:
