COSEE Community Meeting Call For Vision Papers, Deadline July 1, 2010

Author: 
Centers for Ocean Sciences Education Excellence

 Vision Papers may address any topic of relevance to the future of ocean sciences education and the National COSEE Network, although we particularly seek papers that outline broad, high-priority, and novel questions, objectives or activities that engage scientists and educators in transforming ocean sciences education. Recommendations for integrating current ocean sciences research into K-16 education activities and materials, actively engaging ocean scientists in the education process, bringing the nature of science to educators, presenting the ocean in an Earth systems perspective, and engaging informal and formal education and public audiences in the ocean sciences enterprise are also welcome, as well as papers on how the COSEE program can advance the broader impact needs of the ocean sciences research community.

Vision Papers should be clear, concise, and of general interest, rather than advocacy statements for specific programs or locations.

Guidelines

  • Vision Papers submitted by teams are preferred to ensure broader consensus, although individual submissions are also welcomed; author(s) can contribute more than one Vision Paper.
  • Workshop attendance is not required for Vision Paper consideration.
  • Workshop invitations are not tied to Vision Paper submissions.
  • Vision Papers are limited to two pages of single-spaced text; include the title, authors, affiliations, and e-mail contact information as a header for each submission.

Vision Papers can be emailed to cosee@gso.uri.edu and are due July 1, 2010. More information on the Community Meeting will be available in May.
