The DataStreme Project, a unique National Science Foundation-funded K-12 teacher enhancement program of the American Meteorological Society, is now in its fourth year of national implementation. This update report on the status of DataStreme will review the project implementation strategy and results to date. The success of the Project will be shown in its numbers of implementation teams operating and the number of teachers trained through the distance-learning course, the centerpiece of DataStreme. Comparisons of the status of the Project and its design goals for this point in its evolution are presented. DataStreme evaluations through surveys of participants, both during and after taking the course are shown for comparative and longitudinal study. Results of an additional evaluation added to the original methodology design in year three and bearing more directly on participant attitude change and content acquisition, are also given. Finally, DataStremes congruence with the National Science Education Standards, which were not in existence at the time of the projects conception, will be demonstrated.
