![]() Lauren Brase I’m Lauren Brase, an Education Specialist at AGI. I have a background in environmental studies with an emphasis in coastal geology. As such, I work on the logistics of a lot of the projects AGI undertakes across the geoscience education and outreach community, like this partnership for the 2023 School of Rock program. ![]() Sequoyah McGee Hi there! My name is Sequoyah McGee (she/her pronouns), and I am the Outreach Coordinator for Education and Outreach at the American Geosciences Institute (AGI). I have also written various science curricula for middle and high school. Before that, I taught Life, Physical, and Earth sciences for 15 years in schools in Maryland and upstate New York. I have been an Education Specialist at the American Geosciences Institute for a little over a year. Lindsay Mossa My name is Lindsay Mossa, and I live in Annapolis, MD. I have an ongoing interest in exploring what educators in different contexts can learn from each other. Since then, I’ve lived several places, and held a variety of positions in education-including as curriculum designer, as a university faculty member, and for the past eight years as Director of Education and Outreach at the American Geosciences Institute (AGI). I applied that and an enthusiasm for science more generally to my early work as a middle school science teacher in Lincoln, Nebraska. At the same time, through my childhood collection of the marine fossils that are typical of southeast Nebraska I developed an early fascination with earth science-especially oceans and prehistory. ![]() This will be her fifth time onboard the JR.Įd Robeck Growing up in Omaha led to me not seeing a body of saltwater until after my first year of college. Her research includes biogeochemical cycling and data mining and she also serves as the JROC (JRSO Outreach Coordinator). This includes facilitating and sailing on IODP expeditions, conducting independent IODP and non-IODP research, and contributing to science engagement activities of IODP and Texas A&M University. In this role she provides scientific expertise, leadership, and advocacy to the implementation of IODP expeditions and science services. Laurel Childress has worked for the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas (USA) since 2017 as an Expedition Project Manager/Staff Scientist. ![]() In the meantime, meet the team: Expedition Project Managerĭr. Stay tuned to find out how each participant will take on this challenge! The focus of this year’s program is to refine and update the extensive library of existing IODP curriculum and educational materials, to make them easier to navigate and more relevant in our increasingly digital world. Given these changing priorities, we are motivated to provide resources that are relevant to a broad global audience of educators and learners. Learning targets encourage experiencing and explaining phenomena rather than memorizing facts, classrooms are becoming culturally responsive and student-centered, and a over year of remote teaching is driving a new demand for digital resources. The nation is at a time of transition in the field of science education. Over the course of 10 days, participants will tour the ship to learn about IODP science and ship operations, speak with scientists and technicians, and collaborate to enhance the educational offerings of the International Ocean Discovery Program. ![]() For the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person School of Rock is back, for an exciting partnership with the American Geosciences Institute! This February, educators from all around the USA will travel to the port of Tarragona, Spain, to board the JOIDES Resolution. ![]()
