August 6-10, 2012 Workshop for MSI Faculty
Elizabeth City State University
Elizabeth City State University joined with the University of New Hampshire under the NASA Innovations in Climate Education (NICE) Program to empower faculty of education programs at Minority Serving Institutions to better engage their pre-service teachers in teaching and learning about global climate change through the use of NASA Earth observation sets. The workshop provided the faculty with approaches to understanding climate change and its impacts on terrestrial and ocean ecosystems. The faculty conducted field work that emphasizes place-based pedagogy. They worked with an ecological model in STELLA that utilizes authentic inputs from historical and future climate scenario parameters, with NASA satellite imagery data from the MODIS and SeaWiFS sensors, and discussed the challenges and approaches to integrating all or some of the lessons into their courses.
