Project ATMOSPHERE will over a five-year period (a) establish a permanent national network of precollege Atmospheric Education Resource Agents, (AERAs) (b) produce scientifically accurate, up-to-date, and pedagogically sound resource and instructional materials aimed at teachers, and (c) disseminate and implement these materials. It is part of a national program of the American Meteorological Society designed to encourage teachers, grades 5-9, to use the atmospheric environment to heighten interest in and relevancy of science. An extensive training program followed by annual renewal sessions will produce a steady- state network of 70 to 80 AERAs. With representation in every state, the network will build on the strengths of resource agents who come to the project as recognized master teachers and professional leaders in their home areas. They will participate in project materials development and will play major roles in disseminating information and implementation activity. Phase I atmospheric education will be done at National Weather Service Training Centers (NWSTC) workshops. Drawing teachers from these; 60 AERAs will receive Phase II training in year 1 in this project's 2-week workshop. In year 2, 3, 4, and 5 60-80 AERAs will receive Phase II and Phase III training at 2-week workshops. Workshop sites are Boulder, CO and Norman, OK in alternative years. In year 3, 4, and 5 there will be 1-one week follow-up workshops for 55 teachers. A minimum of 2 peer-led workshops will be delivered by increasing numbers of AERAs each year, beginning with 24 teachers in year 1 and increasing to 94 teachers by year 3. The teacher enhancement materials to be developed include 200 reference and resource papers on atmospheric environment topics, annually-published newsletter/information packets, and 10 self-contained instructional modules. Dissemination will range from mailings of materials to the offering of informational sessions by AERAs. The instructional materials will implemented in workshops arranged and conducted by AERAs. Approximately 1,000 information and training sessions will take place with an estimated 20,000 teachers enrolled. The Project Director for this comprehensive project is Dr. Ira Geer. Cost-sharing equals 75% of the NSF award.

大气层项目将在五年期间（a） 建立一个永久性的全国学前教育网络 大气教育资源代理（AERA）（B）产生 科学上准确的，最新的，教学上合理的 针对教师的资源和教学材料，以及 (c)传播和实施这些材料。 它是一部分 美国气象学会的一个国家项目 旨在鼓励5-9年级的教师使用 大气环境，以提高人们的兴趣， 科学的相关性。 广泛的培训计划 每年的更新会议将产生一个稳定的- 70到80个AERA的国家网络。 代表在 每个州，网络将建立在以下优势之上： 作为公认的主人来到项目的资源代理 教师和专业领导人在他们的家乡。 他们 将参与项目材料的开发，并将 在传播信息方面发挥重要作用， 执行活动。 第一阶段大气教育将在国家 气象服务培训中心（NWSTC）讲习班。 绘图 60名AERA将接受第二阶段培训 在这个项目的第一年，为期两周的研讨会。 在第二、三年， 4，5 60-80 AERA将接受第二阶段和第三阶段 为期两周的培训班。 工作坊地点是博尔德， CO和诺曼，在交替的年份。 在第3、4和5年， 将为55人举办为期一周的后续讲习班 教师 将通过以下方式举办至少2次同行领导的研讨会： 每年增加AERA的数量，从24个开始， 第一年增加到94名教师，第三年增加到94名教师。 将编制的教师进修材料包括 200份关于大气环境的参考和资料文件 专题、年度出版的通讯/信息包， 和10个独立的教学模块。 传播 从邮寄材料到提供 信息会议由AERA。 教学 材料将在安排的讲习班上实施， 由AERA执行。 约1,000条信息， 将举办培训班， 教师报名 该综合项目的项目主任是 伊拉吉尔医生。 费用分摊相当于NSF奖金的75%。
