Scientists, Educators, and Policy Specialists Invited to Attend Workshop
on Atmospheric Science and Climate Literacy 
November 27 -- 29, Boulder, CO
 
Applications due by October 26!
 
    A limited number of spaces (with travel support) are available for
scientists, educators, and policy specialists to attend the Atmospheric
Science and Climate Literacy Workshop on November 27 -- 29 at UCAR in
Boulder, Colorado.
 
    The objective of the workshop, which is funded by the National
Science Foundation (NSF), is to develop a consensus framework for
enhancing our nation's atmospheric science and climate literacy. The
participants (about 60 people), will include a diverse group of
teachers, scientists, informal educators, and policy specialists. The
agenda will build on the efforts of numerous organizations and subgroups
that have sought to define standards and benchmarks for science
education in general and, more specifically, to identify key concepts
and linkages among weather, climate, and ocean literacy. The draft
consensus framework will be revised based upon further review and
feedback from participants in meetings of the nation's leading
geoscience and science education societies. The final draft document
will be submitted to the NSF by July 31, 2008, with the intent that it
will be used by decision makers to more effectively shape the nation's
priorities and strategies for science education.
 
    Please go to http://eo.ucar.edu/ascl/registration.html to complete
the online workshop application form. Participants will be selected from
the applicant pool to ensure the workshop includes a diverse set of
participants with disciplinary, institutional, and geographic balance.
Applicants will be notified by November 2 of selection decisions for the
workshop.
