The American Meteorological Society’s Educational Initiatives such as DataStreme, Project Atmosphere, Water In The Earth System, and The Maury Project, have published numerous effective educational materials. Written by educators and scientists, these ‘modules’ are topical and provide theory as well as ‘hands-on’ activities to disseminate information to the educators who will, in turn, use these activities with their students.

These publications are presented by Peer Trainers who are graduates of the AMS Educational Initiatives mentioned above. Peer Trainers are teachers themselves, who guide other teachers in the study of meteorology and oceanography.

Shown in this poster session are teachers learning through the use of Maury Project and Project Atmosphere modules. Teachers inevitably leave feeling better informed and prepared to guide their own students in exploring these exciting topics.
