Why Form a Collaborative?The main reason is to:
Improve the quality of education for the students
Shared resources
Increase program awareness
Improve department dynamics
Enhance teaching curriculum
Locations of institutions of higher education in Texas
![Page 20: ITG Webinar Slides 031315](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042602/55a644a51a28abff148b4588/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Examples of Enhanced Teaching Articulated degree plan at EPCC:
Ensure that curriculum is standard across both institutions for geology majors.
Ensure they matriculate successfully to the B.S. degree program.
Shared classes or facilities: (UTEP) Exploration Geophysics: Seismic Methods
and (EPCC) Geological Field Methods courses share field projects.
UTEP facilities (thin section lab) and equipment (geophysical instruments) are available for EPCC student use.
Shared curriculum: Articulated courses have similar or matching
course objectives Teaching materials (textbooks and lab manuals)
are the same for articulated courses. Collaborate with the development and
implementation educational material.

Survey responses (May 2014)N = 18/25 participating students
On a scale of 1-10, (1= none 5=somewhat 10=most definitely)
how much has this experience encouraged you to pursue or continue a career in geology?
“To me, the entire trip was a highlight separated by hours of sleep. Meeting with all the Dr.s, the outcrops, and samples we were able to get, were all part of a big inspiration. Just meeting with the speakers motivated me to have the prefix "Dr." to my name.”

• Students exposed to non-local geology (compare and contrast the similarities and differences)
• Geological skills; camping, hiking skills• Cultural exchange & awareness• Leveraging local location-specific knowledge• Students get access to larger numbers of
geoscience faculty (different interests, styles)• Building a support network (students, faculty)• Access to potential research advisors at 4-year
universities• 4-year schools can recruit• Professional development for adjunct faculty

Support with Transfer Process• Most Wake Tech geoscience majors transfer to
NC State University due to proximity
• Many students start taking geoscience classes at NC State while still completing A.S. degree at Wake Tech

Engaging Programs as Part of the Larger STEM Pipeline
• Nationally we loose on average a STEM Major every 15 minutes… for lots of reasons
• Programs which reach down as far as middle school and…
• Create a continuous “Pathway” from high school to a STEM degree
• Geoscience issues which are relevant to traditionally underrepresented students
• Sustainability, personal relevance, community and the scientific underpinnings which underlie these issues
• Wicked Problems: Climate change, Los Angeles River restoration, Sediment removal.

Success and Persistence
• Our institution is 53% Hispanic & African American compared to 9 % Caucasian…
• Disaggregating success and retention data by ethnicity shows that our white and Asian students outperform African American and Latino Student by 10-15% in success, retention and level of achievement.
• In general Biology, we have demonstrated that switching to a contextualized, project-based learning approach has reduced this achievement gap and dramatically increased the level of achievement for our students of color.
• The InTeGrate approach is ready made for these kinds of gains.

Programs that broaden access to science by introducing geoscience across the liberal arts curriculum
• We have a long tradition of interdisciplinary course pairings – i.e. Learning communities
• Earth Science & Political Science (NAFTA to the Keystone Pipeline, fracking etc…)
• Community-based service learning opportunities
• Community-focused undergraduate research (GIS and access to healthy food…)

Summary of 2YC programs
• Implementation program in development in west Texas involving collaborations from HS to 2YC to 4YC; shared resources, curriculum, and articulated degree plans
![Page 73: ITG Webinar Slides 031315](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042602/55a644a51a28abff148b4588/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Summary of 2YC programs
• Implementation program in development in west Texas involving collaborations from HS to 2YC to 4YC; shared resources, curriculum, and articulated degree plans
• Field course collaboration between two geographically separated 2YCs (Texas and Virginia); good example of thinking outside the box; eye-opening experience for students

Summary of 2YC programs
• Teaching mineralogy has lead to collaborations with local universities as well as internships and students research opportunities at the USGS.

Summary of 2YC programs
• In North Carolina OEGD grant has allowed 2YC students to participate in paid research internships at local university; supports transfer process
• Teaching mineralogy has lead to collaborations with local universities as well as internships and students research opportunities at the USGS.

Summary of 2YC programs
• In North Carolina OEGD grant has allowed 2YC students to participate in paid research internships at local university; supports transfer process
• Teaching mineralogy has lead to collaborations with local universities as well as internships and students research opportunities at the USGS.
• 2YC administrators want to see continuous pathways from HS to STEM degrees, reduced achievement gaps among minority students, and programs that broaden access by infusing geoscience across the liberal arts curriculum.

• 2YC faculty can and should be the lead on program level changes as we know best what our students need
Final Thoughts• Program level changes at 2YCs will likely involve
collaboration with other academic institutions because of articulation issues
• In addition to academic institutions, 2YCs should reach out to other organizations in the community such as USGS, department of transportation, museums, etc.
