The GLOBE Program Office (GPO) is able to confidently report the number of teachers trained by the GLOBE
community each year. However, the GPO is not able to provide exact figures representing student participation
due to the presence of unknown variables such as whether each GLOBE teacher is teaching only one classroom of
students or teaches multiple classrooms (such as in middle school/high school settings), and given this, we realize
that this statistic can also change over the course of a given year. Therefore, the student estimates provided
below are extremely conservative estimates, assuming that teachers only work with one classroom of students, using
25 students as the average classroom size. Please note that the GPO promotes a "team" approach to implementation
within schools (forming teams of teachers within each school instead of past models that concentrated on training
one teacher per GLOBE school).
