As proposed, this study will identify and evaluate the range and depth of SOS audience impacts and outcomes to provide the essential baseline understanding for its ongoing and future uses. The study will further explore the role and impact of data visualization in contemporary society as an effective means of deepening public understanding of such complex issues as Earth natural systems.", "AMS/NOAA Cooperative Program for Earth System Education (CPESE)","American Meteorological Society (AMS)","2012: AMS Datastreme Program",2012,NA12SEC0080020,"$1,857,200","Wendy Abshire",Massachusetts,Boston,Suffolk,MA08,"42.35692, -71.06927","2012-10-01T00:00:00 - 2017-09-30T00:00:00","The Cooperative Program for Earth System Education (CPESE) – with assistance from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service and the State University of New York (SUNY) at Brockport – is a major collaboration between the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and NOAA that advances NOAA’s mission of Science, Service, and Stewardship by sharing knowledge and information about weather, climate, and the ocean. CPESE facilitates national offering of the DataStreme Atmosphere and DataStreme Ocean courses and supports Project ATMOSPHERE leadership training workshops at the National Weather Service Training Center (Kansas City) for in-service K-12 educators. Over five years, about 3,000 teacher participants will earn graduate credits through a partnership with SUNY at Brockport and become confident Earth science educators capable of implementing engaging, pedagogically appropriate activities in their classrooms. These educators are expected to impact more than 30,000 additional educators and one million K-12 students. In addition to the professional development for in-service K-12 educators, CPESE enables the AMS to design curricula for introductory college-level Earth science courses, which help prepare pre-service educators. CPESE is built on a shared vision that highly trained educators are key to an environmentally and geo-scientifically literate public.","State University of New York at Brockport, NOAA National Weather Service (NWS), NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO), NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), NOAA Office of Education, NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Mount Holly, NJ Weather Forecast Office, NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Grand Rapids, MI Forecast Office, Pennsylvania Western University (PennWest)"
