Introduction to Desktop GIS (ArcView) for Natural Resources


March 26-28, 2002


Workshop Description:


This three day introduction to GIS workshop utilizing ArcView is designed
to demonstrate GIS functionality and operations on a developed natural
resource database. The workshop lectures and hands-on exercises are planned
for participants with no GIS knowledge or experience. Introductory
materials presented provide the fundamentals of GIS to allow proper
conception of ArcView procedures and data handling. Proven examples of
natural resource applications of GIS are presented. Special exercises
utilizing a developed natural resource database will allow workshop
participants to solve or help resolve natural resource geospatial problems
with GIS. Each participant will produce a plot of their finished exercise
to take home. Workshop handouts and exercise data will be distributed to
participants. The desktop personal computer will be used in the workshop.
Due to limited workshop space, early registration is encouraged.


WORKSHOP COST: $450.00


Workshop Cancellation Policy


A portion of the registration fee will be retained for late workshop
cancellations. Any cancellations of 7 working days or less will be charged
a cancellation fee of $75.00. If there is no contact by the workshop
participant on the beginning day of the workshop about canceling workshop
attendance the entire workshop fee will be assessed.

                     10:30 AM





Please read and circulate the document attached below regarding Joseph
Cornell's workshops scheduled for June and July.  I've had the good fortune
of being in one of his Sharing Nature workshops (20 years ago!) plus a more
recent evening workshop.  Joseph imparts an infectious enthusiasm and
process for engaging the learner in experiential learning about the natural
world.  I would highly recommend his workshops for anyone working as a
teacher or outdoor educator.  His techniques will bolster the confidence of
educators who don't know much about natural history by sharing activities
that teach concepts without needing a lot of technical information.
Conversely, to the experienced educator, his techniques bring new
inspiration and vitality to an outdoor education program.

The added bonus is the opportunity to spend a week at the Expanding Light
Retreat Center.  This place has become my "home away from home."  The
retreat center is located on 800 acres in the Sierra foothills, in
wonderful country of Madrona, Pine, Fir, and Manzanita.  The nearby Yuba
River is like a little piece of heaven on earth.  I can guarantee that
participants will come away inspired and reinvigorated for doing their work
as educators.  A little tip for those of you that are outdoorsy-- either
ask for a "cabin" or bring your own camping gear.  The other accommodations
are more "motel" like if that is your bent.

>>National Science Teachers Association
>>
>>January 31, 2002
>>
>>NSF Releases Request for Proposals for FY2002 MSPs
>>
>>The National Science Foundation has released the Request for Proposal for
>>their Math &Science Partnership programs. For a complete program
>>description go to
>><http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2002/nsf02061/nsf02061.html>http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2\
002/nsf02061/nsf02061.html
>>
>>Science teachers, science supervisors, administrators, and others with an
>>interest in professional development for K-12 science and mathematics are
>>urged to visit this website for more information. K-12 districts can
>>serve as the lead organization for these grants, and teacher
>>participation is required in many aspects of these programs. Letters of
>>intent (which are optional) are due March 15 and full proposals are due
>>on April 30, 2002.
>>
>>As you will recall, the NSF Math and Science Partnerships received $160
>>million in funding for FY2002 while the Math and Science Partnerships
>>under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act were funded at only
>>$12.5 million. It is likely that this year the Department of Education
>>funds will be used to co-fund the NSF MSP programs.
>>
>>While the low appropriations for the FY2002 ESEA programs is
>>disappointing and the Eisenhower program has been eliminated, keep in
>>mind that in addition to these NSF Math and Science Partnership programs,
>>science and math educators will be participants to the new ESEA Title II
>>Teacher Quality programs slated to receive $2.85 billion in FY 2002. This
>>is a huge funding increase from last year's programs. For example, the
>>state of California received over $53 million in Eisenhower state grants
>>in FY2001, but it is expected to receive over $333 million in Title II
>>funds next year. (For a preview of what each state will receive under FY
>>2002 funding for ESEA go to
>><http://www.ed.gov/offices/OUS/Budget02/02bypr.pdf>http://www.ed.gov/offices/O\
US/Budget02/02bypr.pdf).
>>There are a number of uses of funds allowable under Title II programs,
>>including programs to provide professional development; recruiting,
>>hiring, and retaining teachers; alternative certification programs;
>>tenure reform; merit pay; and teacher testing.
>>
>>Here are some highlights of the NSF RFP for the FY2002 Math and Science
>>Partnerships. We will provide additional details on ESEA programs when
>>they become available.
>>
>>Proposals must be submitted on behalf of a partnership by a LEAD
>>ORGANIZATION that is one of the following: 1) a preK-12 local, tribal,
>>regional or state educational system, 2) an institution of higher
>>education), 3) a higher education system or consortium, or 4) an
>>educational consortium, private foundation, or other public or non-profit
>>private school or organization focused on preK-12 education. The lead
>>organization will be the prime awardee, assuming fiscal responsibility
>>and the programmatic monitoring role for the overall award. Each
>>PARTNERSHIP must include one or more institutions of higher education and
>>one or more school district partners, and are encouraged to include other
>>partners that bring needed human and institutional resources to the
>>collaboration.
>>
>>Partnerships that meaningfully engage additional stakeholders in the MSP
>>enterprise for excellence in education are strongly encouraged. Effective
>>partnerships likely will involve state or territorial or tribal
>>government entities, but may also include community organizations,
>>science centers and museums, business and industry, professional
>>societies, research laboratories, dissemination and implementation
>>centers, district-level educational support centers, social service
>>agencies, private foundations, and other public and private organizations
>>with interests in education such as educational research organizations,
>>business roundtables or chambers of commerce.
>>
>>Anticipated Type of Award: Comprehensive Awards will be Cooperative
>>Agreements; Targeted Awards will be Standard or Continuing Grants
>>
>>Estimated Number of Awards: 25-30 Comprehensive Awards and approximately
>>60 Targeted Awards
>>
>>Program Goals:
>>
>>GOAL 1: To enhance significantly the capacity of schools to provide a
>>challenging curriculum for every student, and to encourage more students
>>to participate in and succeed in advanced mathematics and science courses.
>>
>>GOAL 2: To increase and sustain the number, quality, and diversity of
>>preK-12 teachers of mathematics and science, especially in underserved
>>areas, through further development of a professional education continuum
>>that considers traditional preservice education as well as alternative
>>routes into the profession, professional development during early phases
>>of a career (i.e., induction), and continued professional growth
>>(inservice) in mathematics and science for preK-12 teachers.
>>
>>GOAL 3: To contribute to the national capacity to engage in large-scale
>>reform through participation in a network of researchers and
>>practitioners, organized through the MSP program, that will study and
>>evaluate educational reform and experimental approaches to the
>>improvement of teacher preparation and professional development.
>>
>>GOAL 4: To engage the learning community in the knowledge base being
>>developed in current and future NSF Centers for Learning and Teaching and
>>Science of Learning Centers.
>>
>>The MSP program emphasizes that mathematicians, scientists and engineers
>>accept vital roles in this effort to impact the teacher workforce and to
>>work with teachers and administrators to substantially improve student
>>achievement. Therefore, teachers and higher education faculty, as well as
>>administrators, should be significant contributors to the development of
>>proposals responding to the MSP solicitation.
>>
>>NSF will look for innovative approaches that effectively engage higher
>>education institutions in addressing the goals noted above. For example,
>>higher education faculty and students might work together and with school
>>districts to embed educational technologies into preservice and inservice
>>courses to ensure that teachers learn the effective use of technology as
>>both instructional tools and as tools of the mathematics and science
>>disciplines. In another model, mathematicians, scientists, and engineers,
>>as well as undergraduate and graduate students from the higher education
>>community, might involve secondary students or teachers in scientific
>>research experiences or work directly with students and teachers in the
>>preK-12 classroom. Additionally, a partnership might offer structured
>>opportunities for disciplinary faculty to expand teachers' subject matter
>>knowledge and inform them on applicable research in science and
>>mathematics or to encourage their college majors in mathematics, science
>>and engineering to consider careers in education. The MSP expects that
>>partnering institutions of higher education will address policies and
>>practices that impact those faculty members involved in preK-12 activities.
>>
>>COMPREHENSIVE partnerships will be characterized by fundamental,
>>inclusive and coordinated changes in educational practices, with strict
>>accountability measures, at both the college/university level and the
>>local district level. Comprehensive partnerships are successful when
>>schools, school systems, higher education, and other partners are fully
>>engaged and operating in concert to support students in achieving at an
>>optimal level; when the teacher professional education continuum
>>parallels expectations for students; when policies and practices are
>>aligned with a clear set of goals and standards; and when the forthcoming
>>improvements and innovations become intrinsic, sustainable parts of the
>>ongoing educational system for all children and teachers. Additional
>>stakeholders, especially state, territorial or tribal government
>>entities, are encouraged to participate in comprehensive partnerships.
>>
>>It is anticipated that large comprehensive MSP awards will be of 5-year
>>duration for amounts up to $7 million per year depending on the size and
>>scope of the project as well as the availability of NSF funds. The size
>>of the awards will be correlated, in part, to the scope and complexity of
>>the proposal as well as the numbers of preK-12 students served. All
>>comprehensive awards will be made as cooperative agreements with an
>>initial commitment of five years and may be renewed for an additional
>>five years, if sufficient funds are available.   PARTNERSHIPS INVOLVING
>>FEWER THAN 10,000 STUDENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO FORM LARGER
>>CONSORTIA to impact more students and teachers, and for greater
>>cost-effectiveness.
>>
>>TARGETED efforts will focus on improving one or a limited set of
>>element(s) of the mathematics and/or science educational endeavor.
>>
>>Most of these efforts will be creative and innovative, smaller in scale,
>>more narrowly focused, and limited in scope. Targeted awards may address
>>particular problem areas where improvements in science and mathematics
>>instruction and achievement are already underway, where time and
>>resources are needed to develop meaningful partnerships, or where the
>>intent is to try innovative, "high-risk" solutions to specific questions.
>>
>>Targeted awards will be made for up to a 5-year duration for amounts
>>ranging from $100,000 to $1.5 million per year.
>>
>>As a subset of the targeted awards, the U.S. Department of Education and
>>NSF will consider co-funding partnerships that address the following
>>strategies:
>>
>>
>>a) engaging classroom teachers in mathematical or scientific research and
>>development projects sponsored by institutions of higher education and/or
>>other private and public sector research organizations;
>>b) engaging practicing teachers as professional colleagues who work
>>together with scientists, mathematicians and engineers to master advanced
>>new content and teaching strategies;
>>c) demonstrating how technology can be used in the classroom to deepen
>>the scientific and mathematical understanding of teachers and to promote
>>higher student achievement; or
>>d) establishing and evaluating the effectiveness of differential salary
>>scales used to make the mathematics and science teaching profession more
>>comparable in pay to the private sector, both as a tool to attract
>>beginning teachers with deep mathematical or scientific training and as a
>>means to create a career ladder capable of retaining highly skilled and
>>effective teachers.

Project Goals: The Tribal Schools Ecological Monitoring Project (TSEMP) is
a pilot project to teach and apply ecological concepts and biological
monitoring skills to teachers and students in selected schools.  This
program advances science curricula, meets state and national science
standards, and increases interest in science and in environmental
protection for students.  TSEMP aims to establish a long-term monitoring
system in biologically significant areas on tribal lands.

GLOBE is worldwide association of students, teacher, and scientists working
together to better understand the global environment. Students and teachers
from over 7,000 schools in more than 80 countries are working through GLOBE
to learn more about our planet. GLOBE students make environmental
observations at or near their schools and report their data through the
Internet. Scientists use GLOBE data in their research and provide feedback
directly to the students. GLOBE's interactivity and direct participation
ensures computer literacy and promotes student interest and confidence.

Workshops: To become GLOBE certified teachers participate in one or more of
the scheduled workshops.  Participants learn the GLOBE monitoring
techniques and how to enter GLOBE data on line.  Teachers who complete the
GLOBE training and implement monitoring projects will earn stipends and
receive monitoring equipment for their school.  Travel and lodging support
are available on a reimbursement basis.

Support: EEOP and TNC will coordinate follow-up training and implementation
at schools and ecological sites.  The Native American Environmental
Education Outreach Program (EEOP) is designed to encourage native students
to pursue environmental careers and to assist schools in improving
environmental science literacy.  The program is an extension of Northern
Arizona University's Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals
(ITEP). The Nature Conservancy is an international nonprofit membership
organization committed to the global preservation of natural
diversity.  Its mission is to identify and preserve the world's best
remaining examples of plants, animals, and natural communities by
protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.  The tribal
environmental offices will also provide on-site technical support to the
schools.

Funding: Funding for the TSEMP-GLOBE project is provided by grants from the
United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Wharton Foundation, and
the National Science Foundation through the Science Technology Center at
the University of Arizona.

the scheduled workshops.  Participants learn the GLOBE monitoring
techniques and how to enter GLOBE data on line.  Teachers who complete the
GLOBE training and implement monitoring projects will earn stipends and
receive monitoring equipment for their school.  Travel and lodging support
are available on a reimbursement basis.

Support: EEOP and TNC will coordinate follow-up training and implementation
at schools and ecological sites.  The Native American Environmental
Education Outreach Program (EEOP) is designed to encourage native students
to pursue environmental careers and to assist schools in improving
environmental science literacy.  The program is an extension of Northern
Arizona University's Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals
(ITEP). The Nature Conservancy is an international nonprofit membership
organization committed to the global preservation of natural
diversity.  Its mission is to identify and preserve the world's best
remaining examples of plants, animals, and natural communities by
protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.  The tribal
environmental offices will also provide on-site technical support to the
schools.

Funding: Funding for the TSEMP-GLOBE project is provided by grants from the
United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Wharton Foundation, and
the National Science Foundation through the Science Technology Center at
the University of Arizona.
