AGU Panel to write statement on Earth and space science education in K‐12

Abstract

AGU has convened a panel to write a policy statement that can be used by AGU members and others to argue for effective Earth and space science education at the K‐12 level. The panel welcomes comments from AGU members to help them craft a relevant and effective statement.AGU's Committee on Education and Human Resources (CEHR) first proposed the idea for the position statement in 1999. The Committee's reasoning was that the Earth and space sciences should be included at all levels of education, because increased public understanding of those sciences is needed to ensure their appropriate application to societal needs and challenges.
