FOR EDUCATORS

The following organizations provide reviewed listings of the best available student and educators resources related to global climate change, including NASA products.

ESSEA Climate Change Education Modules
	http://esseacourses.strategies.org/module.nasa.html The NASA Global Climate Change Education/Earth Science Education Alliance (ESSEA) modules are designed for teachers who are taking ESSEA courses. Teachers can also use these course modules with their students. Print them out, or have your students read them online. They include situations, connections to the standards, resources and sample investigations. Unless labeled K-4, the modules can be adapted for middle and high school students.
Climate Literacy & Energy Awareness Network
	http://www.cleanet.org/ The CLEAN project, a part of the National Science Digital Library, provides a reviewed collection of resources students' understanding of the core ideas in climate and energy science, coupled with the tools to enable an online community to share and discuss teaching about climate and energy science.
NASA Global Climate Change Education
	http://gcce.larc.nasa.gov/ NASA’s Global Climate Change Education initiative is designed to improve the quality of the nation’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education and enhance students’ and teachers’ literacy about global climate and Earth system change from elementary grades to lifelong learners. The program website contains links to numerous Global Climate Change Resources for Educators to guide curriculum developers, classroom teachers and GCCE grant recipients to NASA information, data sets, simulations, interactives, and multimedia.
Digital Library for Earth System Education
	http://www.dlese.org/library/index.jsp A geoscience community resource that supports teaching and learning about the Earth system, funded by the National Science Foundation. This collection is built by a community of educators, students, and scientists to support Earth system education at all levels and in both formal and informal settings.
