The American Meteorological Society (AMS), with support from NSF and in partnership with the State University of New York's College at Brockport, is developing highly trained K-12 teachers, known as Climate Education Resource Agents (CERAs), who are responsible for advancing public climate science literacy and affecting curriculum change within their local schools and districts. A total of 40 CERAs are selected from 5 regions of the United States that are especially vulnerable to climate change impacts and have high minority populations. These regions include New York City/Long Island, south Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, and Alaska. CERAs are trained through the semester-long AMS DataStreme Earth's Climate System course and receive 3 graduate credits for course completion. Throughout the course, CERAs work in teams of two to develop a formal "Plan of Action" for local climate education outreach, which they then execute the following year. In order to have maximum community impact, CERAs foster relationships with regional climate centers and education programs. Each of the 5 regions select one of their CERA teams to represent their region's curriculum and public climate science literacy impacts and local partnerships at the January 2012 AMS Annual Meeting. The 40 CERAs trained through the proposed project will impact a minimum of 400 additional educators and 14,000 students within two years of their initial training.

美国气象学会（AMS）在美国国家科学基金会的支持下，与纽约州立大学布罗克波特学院合作，正在培养训练有素的K-12教师，被称为气候教育资源代理人（CERAs），他们负责提高公众气候科学素养，并影响当地学校和地区的课程变化。从美国5个特别容易受到气候变化影响和少数民族人口较多的地区选出40个cera。这些地区包括纽约市/长岛、南佛罗里达、新墨西哥、亚利桑那和阿拉斯加。cera通过长达一个学期的AMS数据存储地球气候系统课程进行培训，完成课程后获得3个研究生学分。在整个课程中，cera以两人一组的形式为当地气候教育推广制定正式的“行动计划”，并在第二年实施。为了产生最大的社区影响，cera促进了与区域气候中心和教育项目的关系。在2012年1月的AMS年会上，5个地区各选择一个CERA团队代表他们地区的课程和公众气候科学素养的影响以及当地的合作伙伴关系。通过拟议的项目培训的40个培训中心将在最初培训的两年内影响至少400名额外的教育工作者和14,000名学生。
