TESSE (Transforming Earth Systems Science Education)
The Transforming Earth System Science Education (TESSE) program is funded by the directorate for Geosciences (GEO-0631377) at the National Science Foundation (NSF). The specific goals for TESSE are to:
- implement a professional development program for current and future teachers that combines content with authentic research experience;
- provide opportunities for university faculty and graduate students to partner with middle and high school teachers in order to develop inquiry-based curriculum models that promote an integrated approach to modern concepts in Earth Science;
- support university faculty seeking to integrate teachers and their students into existing research groups;
- produce a sustainable model for preparing Earth Science teachers that incorporates integrated, inquiry-based coursework and research experiences.
