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)" "Building Ocean Awareness Together (BOAT)","Monterey Bay Aquarium","2012: Ocean Education Partnership Grants",2012,NA12SEC0080025,"$390,249","Cynthia Vernon",California,Monterey,Monterey,CA19,"36.61813, -121.90212","2012-10-01T00:00:00 - 2015-03-31T00:00:00","A consortium of Alaska SeaLife Center, Florida Aquarium and Monterey Bay Aquarium with their partner National Association for Interpretation will increase the effectiveness of informal science educators (ISE) to promote public understanding of three complex topics that impact the ocean (oil spills, ocean acidification, and energy literacy) and encourage stewardship of ocean and coastal resources. This project will have a direct impact on 252 interpreters in and around Alaska, California, and Florida through 12 weeklong trainings. Groups of interpreters will develop, assemble and produce online training toolkits, all of which will be widely disseminated to the ISE community. Each toolkit will utilize NOAA multimedia content, data visualization products, expertise and other relevant resources. Project participants – who interact with a diverse mix of local, regional, national and international visitors (including underserved local populations) – will provide enhanced training content for their colleagues through professional trainings, presentations, and online networks.","Aquarium of the Pacific, California Academy of Sciences, New England Aquarium Corporation / New England Aquarium (NEAq), Seward Association for the Advancement of Marine Science / Alaska SeaLife Center, Florida Aquarium, California State University at Monterey Bay, Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Fresno Chaffee Zoo, National Association for Interpretation (NAI), U.S. National Park Service, Aquarium of the Bay, University of Alaska (UA-Fairbanks), NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) / Pacific Islands, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL), NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO), National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Channel Islands, NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, Woodland Park Zoo, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Florida Keys, NOAA Habitat Conservation, Prince William Sound Science Center (PWSSC), NOAA Research Lab / Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI), Seymour Marine Discovery Center, Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, U.S. National Wildlife Refuge / Don Edwards San Francisco Bay, Brookfield Zoo, California State Parks / Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, U.S. National Parks / Golden Gate, Central Coast Aquarium, National Marine Sanctuary (NMS) / Monterey Bay, National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) Elkhorn Slough, Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, Monterey Bay Whale Watch (MB-WW), Coyote Hills Regional Park, Cook Inlet Regional Citizens Advisory Council"
