The atmospheric science education research (ASER) community has continued to grow over the past several years, both in the number of researchers and the number of projects pursued. This discussion will celebrate recent work, recognize ongoing projects, and envision future endeavors. A few examples of ongoing and upcoming investigations include student experiences during field campaigns, effective pedagogies for atmospheric dynamics courses, the evidence behind claims made in the ASER literature, ungrading assessment practices, flipped classroom approaches, student sense of belonging, student retention, and self-efficacy in undergraduate meteorology programs.

During a highly successful ASER training workshop held in May 2023, community needs were identified through group discussion and post-workshop surveys. These community needs will be revisited during this discussion and session attendees will be invited to participate in the conversation. Collectively, the group will identify ongoing community needs that should be addressed as well as new needs and barriers to progress that have emerged. The outcomes of this discussion will enable the ASER community to determine where future efforts are best directed in order to sustain and promote education research in our discipline.
