WES Initiatives in North Carolina
Hall 4AB
In North Carolina, we have been able to offer
Datastreme and Water and Earth Systems to interested
teachers across the state for many years. Last year,
we
continued our location for having our WES meetings at
the National Weather Service Office in Raleigh. This
has provided us with additional resources such as NWS
personnel for tours and daily weather briefings.
We have made an effort to mail WES and Datastreme
information to the the minority college contacts in
North Carolina with applications for WES and
Datastreme, hoping to encourage qualified teachers
from their areas to take the courses. This year we
hope to have joint Datastreme and WES meetings the
fall semester. Finally, I am working with using WES
and At-Risk students with the hope of finding
alternative learning methods with middle school
students.
