GLOBE Teacher Training Workshops
Around the world, K-12 students are making scientific observations and reporting their data to the GLOBE Data Archive for use in research. For a school to participate in GLOBE, at least one teacher must be trained in the GLOBE science measurement protocols and education activites by attending a GLOBE Teacher Workshop. GLOBE workshops are held throughout the year at locations across the United States.

NASA Explorer Schools
Each year, the NASA Explorer Schools (NES) program establishes a three-year partnership between NASA and 50 school teams, consisting of teachers and education administrators from diverse communities across the country. While partnered with NASA, NES teams acquire and use new teaching resources and technology tools for grades 4 - 9 using NASA's unique content, experts and other resources. Schools in the program are eligible to receive funding (pending budget approval) over the three-year period to purchase technology tools that support science and mathematics instruction.

Teacher Leaders in Research Based Science Education (TLRBSE) at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory
Ever wanted to study the stars through telescopes at Kitt Peak Observatory near Tucson, Arizona, or count sunspots on a 50 cm diameter solar image at the National Solar Observatory at Sunspot, New Mexico? In this NSF sponsored two-week summer program, middle and high school science teacher-participants learn how to acquire astronomy data and how to support their students in conducting authentic astronomy research projects. In addition, participants can earn graduate credits and receive a stipend, airfare, and room & board for the summer workshop, and support to attend an NSTA meeting. The TLRBSE program is now recruiting experienced teacher leaders to mentor teachers new to the profession, participate in an on-line course, and implement research-based science education in the classroom.
