Institution Strategies for Optimizing Success & Overcoming Challenges • Institutional educational leaders continue to press NSF for clear, consistent guidelines for expressing and fulfilling Criterion 2 so that proposers and their educational advisors/partners, reviewers, and NSF program officers are all are on the same page (e.g. participate in these kinds of meetings) • Provide a set of recommendations for institutions and their leadership to support them in meeting the NSF requirement to fulfill Criterion 2 • Hire a facilitator/leader for education with “such-and-such” qualifications and providing resources guiding, informing, and supporting scientists’ participation in broadening impact. • Provide intellectual space for dialogue among scientists and educators regarding the need and opportunities presented by C2 (e.g. ongoing AGU sessions. Need global description of why these are acceptable goals that engages scientists themselves in building the case). • Make a long term commitment to exploring strategies and policies for broadening impact – to promote systemic/cultural change. • Provide opportunities for professional development of scientists in education that sets them up to succeed (providing pathways of partnership and models that work). • Create institutional rewards and recognition • Make an institutional commitment to be attentive to the STEM caucus in Congress. • Support the education leadership at institutions via community-based tool(s) and opportunities: • Tool kit of effective resources & data that help to communicate to institutional leaders and to scientists the rationale for participating in C2. • Creating a meta-network of professionals operating in educational leadership roles in scientific research environments that provides an ongoing intellectual facility for dialogue and professional/leadership development • Provide institutional incentives for early career scientists (e.g. graduate students, post-docs, and young faculty) to participate in education/communication/leadership as an integral part of their work. • Take full advantage of more senior scientists who are well established as advocates and contributors to education and broader impacts. • Sustainability of education efforts and message of importance – pass it on to next generation of science educators, scientists, administrators, decision-makers) • 9. Change the culture among young, early career scientists and eminent scientists as an agent of long term change. • 10. Increase the work force in education by engaging and rewarding end-of-career scientists. • 11. Change the culture of NSF to variably administer Criterion 2. • 12. Develop an intellectual 'facility' (GEESS – Global Earth Educator System of Systems)– a network of leadership (professional societies, institutions, industry, teachers, and more) doing this professionally • - with money to build it! • - with consideration to build beyond Geoscience or USA-bound
Institution Strategies for Optimizing Success & Overcoming Challenges • . Provide a community-based tool(s) to communicate the rationale for participating in Criterion 2 • · A variety of ways to access the rationale – why scientists should even come to this 'table' – Shaping the Future • · Global description of why these are acceptable set of goals – self generating, or having the scientists 'build the case' - build scientists as stakeholders. • 2. Institutional Commitment to the STEM causcus • 3. Congressional Activities • 4. Institutional identification and hiring leadership/human resources in this area for facilitation • 5. Professional development for scientists to succeed in this endeavor. (partnerships, models, etc) • 6. Long term commitment important for systemic change e.g.professional societies have long term • 7.
