The Earth and Space Science Teacher Education Program prepares students to teach science at the high school level. It is a relatively small program, with dedicated faculty in both the geology and geography programs that effectively prepare student candidates to become well-prepared science teachers. Students will become certified to teach all high school science courses (earth science, environmental science, biology, chemistry and physics), including AP and honors geology and earth science. Why Study Earth and Space Science Teacher Education? Geology is the science devoted to understanding the history of the Earth and the processes that continues to shape the planet today. Geologists identify earth materials, analyze forces that act within the earth to produce major features of the earth's crust, identify processes that sculpt surface features; identify and explore resources that are vital to modern societies and apply this knowledge to solve industrial and societal problems. Regardless of the major track, students also develop and exercise critical thinking, writing and quantitative skills. The major curriculum provides a balance between traditional liberal arts, and technical/analytical skills. The main thrust of instruction continues to be in practical and applied geology. Our students are provided with ample experience in the field through course field trips and summer field courses. Other practical skills are learned in the classroom laboratory. Related Skills Works with people of varied backgrounds and can work individually Ability to research and lead projects Good team member Strong math and computer skills Ability to rationalize and have good quantitative skills Strong attention to detail Reads, writes, speaks, and memorizes proficiently The ability to market your skills and write proposals is necessary to maintain steady work. The ability to obtain grants may be necessary to continue a project. Conducts and clearly explains scientific research Possesses knowledge of geological principles and mathematics Understands and uses information derived from computers Experience in mapping and surveying. Develop skills with measuring equipment as well as laboratory equipment and processes. Loves the outdoors, interested in nature, and has a desire to travel. Join groups directed toward improvement of natural resources, environment, and pollution control.
