The National Council for Geographic Education, US Geological Survey, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and West Valley College (in Saratoga CA) are partnering to offer professional development for GIS instructors at two-year colleges, high schools, and universities interested in collaborationg with two-year college geospatial programs. The program builds on the successful iGETT project (Integrated Geospatial Education and Technical Training), recently completed with ATE funding by the same group of collaborators. The new program, iGETT – Remote Sensing, enables participants to teach workforce skills that integrate remote sensing data with GIS.
iGETT – Remote Sensing is currently recruiting the first of two cohorts. Cohort 1 will join the project in February 2013; Cohort 2 in February 2014. Each will participate in monthly webinars and two summer institutes, held at the USGS EROS Center and/or the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, over an 18-month period. More information about both the original iGETT project and the current project and Cohort 1 applications for iGETT-Remote Sensing (due December 20, 2012) are available at http://igett.delmar.edu.
