Terms of Reference - EDUCATIONEDUCATION
For NOAA, education means a process of informing and engaging particular audiences on topics relevant to the world's atmosphere, climate, oceans and coastal ecosystems to achieve greater environmental literacy, personal safety, and an improved economy. There are many possible audiences, such as students, educators, decision-makers, business persons and the general public.
NOAA educational activities are based on NOAA sciences, services, and stewardships; systematic in design with clear goals, objectives and measurable outcomes; aligned, where appropriate, with state or national education standards; and designed to facilitate evaluation by a third party.
NOAA education specifically excludes the training and professional development of NOAA employees. 6/18/03
