NOAA Education Accomplishments Report: Advancing NOAA's Mission through Education, Fiscal Year 2019
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
This guiding document outlines five goals and supporting objectives that help advance National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) mission through education: (1) Science-Informed Society; (2) Conservation and Stewardship; (3) Safety and Preparedness; (4) Future Workforce; (5) Organizational Excellence. In this report, NOAA introduces the reader to students whose restoration project saved their shoreline from a hurricane, a meteorology class that learned the art of high-stakes weather forecasting, and an educator from South Dakota who brought his students to a NOAA lab in Mississippi so they could see the ocean for the first time. The stories shared in this report show how today's youth are emerging as the next generation of problem-solvers. Educators and partners empower students to take action and make changes in their schools and communities, whether convincing school administrators to rethink cafeteria waste or educating their communities about climate change. Across these different projects, the reader can see how students gather data, challenge norms, and take the initiative to address environmental problems that they see around them in the places and spaces they care about.
