What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

Student grade records and attendance data — maintain independently and submit on schedule in compliance with registrar requirements across multiple course sections.
Lectures on intermediate topics such as structural geology or micrometeorology — prepare and deliver with minimal oversight to undergraduate and graduate audiences.
Written papers and class projects — evaluate and grade with consistent, constructive commentary calibrated to course learning outcomes in a university science program.
Midterm and final examinations — compile, administer, and grade independently, delegating proctoring tasks to teaching assistants as appropriate.
Field work excursions and laboratory exercises — supervise by briefing students on objectives, safety procedures, and data collection methods in outdoor or lab environments.
Existing course materials and instructional methods — review and revise annually to reflect current disciplinary developments in atmospheric, earth, or marine sciences.
Course syllabi, homework problem sets, and lecture handouts — produce for the full semester using word processing and document management software.
Analytical or scientific software tools — integrate into laboratory instruction to help students process meteorological, geological, or oceanographic datasets.
Classroom discussions on complex scientific phenomena — initiate and moderate by connecting student contributions to core course concepts in a postsecondary lecture or seminar format.
Learning strategy adjustments — apply in response to observed student performance patterns across lectures, labs, and assessments in an established departmental context.
