NOAA education accomplishments
Advancing NOAA's mission through education
Each year, the NOAA Education community helps connect and inspire millions of people with NOAA's mission. The Education Council gathers information on the reach, progress, and impacts of these efforts and reports them through annual output measures and accomplishments reports.
Fiscal year 2022 common measures
NOAA’s common measures are collected from programs across NOAA and are one way we communicate the reach of our investments to the public, students, and educators. Partners such as academic institutions, educational organizations, and other federal, state, and local agencies extend our ability to reach our target audiences.
As institutions reopen their doors to the public , we are once again reporting the number of people who visited informal education institutions hosting NOAA-supported exhibits and programs after a two-year hiatus in response to COVID-19. We are also pleased to be piloting a new measure related to environmental actions. All programs did not submit data during the pilot year, but this number gives a sense of the scope of what our education community is doing collectively to engage participants in actions that impact the environment.
*2022 was the pilot year for this metric. Some programs did not collect or submit data.
