Abstract

The National Science Foundation's broader impact criteria possesses status equivalent to intellectual merit in the award process. Despite efforts to support a more diverse and inclusive geoscience workforce, little has changed. Partnerships with K-12 teachers serving communities in the vicinity of post-secondary institutions can support impact beyond campus confines... facilitating a bridge to students who represent populations that have been historically marginalized from science. This session will outline benefits and mechanisms for geoscientists to collaborate with K-12 education professionals.
