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.
