Professional Development
NAGT's On the Cutting Edge professional development program includes workshops, webinars, conferences, online resource collections and other efforts that support geoscience educators. These activities provide opportunities for faculty to learn more about pedagogy, to share their classroom and professional experiences and teaching materials, and to discuss what works and what's needed in geoscience education.
The On the Cutting Edge professional development program is run in collaboration with the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College (SERC) and builds on the legacy of the original NSF-funded program including many of its program elements as well as its design philosophy and workshop model.
