Partnership Aim

Biggest Accomplishment

Our aim is to raise awareness about The GLOBE Program and its numerous applications to nature-based education. In addition, through training, demonstrate The GLOBE Program’s ability to increase science and math rigor, increase data literacy, and engage schools in community science locally, nationally, and globally.

In collaboration with Todd Toth, we trained all Arlington Public Schools middle and high school teachers and about a quarter of the Elementary school teachers on GLOBE and Eco-Schools USA to support the district’s MWEE.
