GLOBE U.S. Partners
University of Missouri - Kansas City (joined GLOBE on March 29, 2005)

The UMKC GLOBE partnership is an initiative of the Department of Geosciences, University of Missouri of Kansas City and directed by Dr. Jimmy Adegoke. The primary goal of our partnership to increase the number of urban students majoring in geoscience fields by providing a pipeline from K-12 to college through content and pedagogic workshops for teachers and direct mentoring of students. Through various summer professional development workshops for teachers and school year follow-up activities, we are working to improve science achievement through the use of more effective instructional strategies that draw upon the vast resources of the GLOBE program. The long term goals of our GLOBE partnership are to continue providing an engaging, rigorous and inquiry driven learning environment for urban students in the six-county Kansas City metro area by implementing carefully targeted and challenging professional development programs for teachers.
