The Goddard GLOBE Partnership provides additional resources to
schools and teachers involved in GLOBE within our 11 state region. We
offer program support to get GLOBE implemented into school
curriculum's, webinars to provide additional training, answers to
specific problems virtually or when possible through in-school
support. We also offer a GLOBE equipment loan program for schools just
starting in the program or students involved in continuing research.
We also partner with other organizations and institutions to offer
specialized GLOBE training. The Goddard GLOBE partnership has provided
training to U.S. embassy staff as part of their training before moving
to their overseas post. We've worked with the Peace Corps a number of
times to provide training to their staffs as the also move to their
overseas posts.
From GLOBE's beginning we have worked very closely with the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on countless projects
and training sessions. They continue to be a valued and close partner
to the NASA Goddard GLOBE Partnership and aided us in working with
groups such as 4-H, Girl Scouts and Washington / Baltimore
historically black colleges and universities (HBCU's).
Our most recent venture was working with the Chesepeake Bay
Foundation to offer a series of GLOBE training / meeting sessions in
conjunction with the Millersville University Continuing Education
Office and Lifelong Learners (age 60+) group. These session proved to
be extremely beneficial and a fun opportunity for all those involved.
We hope to continue this project in the fall of this year.
