Plans of Action: Enhancing Public Awareness of Meteorology Though Local Weather Education Resource Teachers
Drs. Geer ,Weinbeck, Smith and Moran along with the National Science Foundation, the National
Weather Service and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration have evolved a
program in weather and oceanographic education that ends with a Plan of Action by teachers
taking their courses. These plans of action are essential to enhancing public awareness of
meteorology and oceanography in the local area. As the Local Implementation Leader for the
Datastreme project in Oregon, my intention is to share the type, effectiveness and
implementation of several of my students Plans of Action. This presentation will showcase the
relationship between the Plans of Action prepared for the Datastreme class and the national,
state and local teaching standards. It will also show how local weather education teachers
have enhanced community understanding of meteorology & oceanography across the State of Oregon.
