ED14B:
Student, Educator, and Researcher Partnerships: What Has Worked and What Has Not worked---Lessons from the Field and the Classroom III Posters


Session ID#: 37911

Session Description:
Innovations in formal and informal education and outreach in the fields of ocean science, environmental science, and limnology have been plentiful in recent years. Of specific significance is making aquatic science content relevant to all audiences: K-12, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as the general public. How can science lessons answer the question "Why is this important to me?" Student-researcher partnerships are one way to make the connection between science and students' lives and to result in an increase in ocean and climate literacy. A collaborative and interdisciplinary approach between educators and researchers is considered the gold standard for effective education and outreach. However, both of these collaborations have challenges and opportunities. This session will focus on sharing lessons learned from those that have developed collaborative programs in education, outreach, and/or policy. The session will be constructed to promote discussion of a wide variety of approaches and programs designed to effectively engage audiences in building awareness and meaningful science learning. Authors are expected to present evaluation evidence for the programs including successes and “instructive failures”.
