This project would allow NOAA to continue to be one of the host agencies, with one teacher fellow hosted in FY08, and up to two teacher fellows in FY09 and FY10. These teacher fellows will work with NOAA's Office of Education to learn about how federal science and math education policy and programs are structured. The Triangle Coalition for Science and Technology Education provides coordinated training and professional development activities and trips for the fellows that work in up to 10 different federal agencies.", "NOAA Earth System Science Courses: Building on the Earth System Science Education Alliance (ESSEA)","Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)","2008/2009: ELG for Formal K-12 Education",2009,NA09SEC4690011,"$645,815","Robert Myers",Virginia,Arlington,Arlington,VA08,"38.8943, -77.07719","2009-09-01T00:00:00 - 2012-08-31T00:00:00","The Earth System Science Education Alliance (ESSEA) is a successful teacher professional development program enhancing K-12 teachers' environmental literacy and ability to teach Earth System Science. The ESSEA 40+ educational institution consortium is supporting universities and other educational institutions in teacher preparation and professional development for pre-service and in-service K-12 teachers. This NOAA-funded project enhances and builds on this foundation by: 1) Using the ESSEA online courses as a model to introduce newly upgraded Earth system science undergraduate and graduate courses for teachers; 2) Introducing new Earth System Science data, analysis tools and educational resources to support the teacher courses; and 3) Disseminating model teaching practices and program success through annual conferences, continuing support, and presentations at geoscience and education conferences.","Birch Aquarium at Scripps, Texas A&M University at College Station, University of Maine / Ocean Systems Central Office School of Marine Sciences (COSEE)"
