Coalition for Earth Science Education 2005 Meeting, September 23 and 24
Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland
Register on line at: www.regonline.com/26329

The 2005 Coalition for Earth Science Education (CESE) meeting will  
focus on increasing and improving implementation of the Earth System  
Science (ESS) in K–12 schools by creating a large-scale effort and  
unified voice to bring about greater and more widespread teaching of  
ESS. The goal of the meeting will be (1), to establish action items  
to work toward overcoming barriers to implementation of ESS and (2),  
to facilitate development of partnerships to work on selected action  
items. Attendees will collaboratively determine which barriers are  
most significant, then participants will select breakout groups, and  
work together to create partnerships for addressing action items.  
Attendees invited to present their own work in an interactive poster  
session. Presentations from invited speakers will highlight related  
initiatives, including status of the Revolution in K–12 Earth and  
Space Science Education and efforts in Texas and California to keep  
Earth science in state curricula. A sp!
  ecial session will feature information on federal education  
initiatives—NSF, NASA, NOAA, and USGS.

The meeting will be held Friday, September 23rd and Saturday,  
September 24th at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.
