Climate Change Educator Professional Development
The Climate Change Educator Professional Development Network (CCEPDnet) will improve teacher competency for global climate change education, building on proven existing resources by leveraging existing educator networks and e-education approaches. The project team will develop a suite of six topical web seminars in collaboration with the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). The project will leverage teacher networks, events, and publications available through NSTA, the National Earth Science Teachers Association, Windows to the Universe (W2U), and other community-based e-newsletters and list-serves to get the word out about CCEPDnet and build community.
