Center for Earth and Space Science Education is committed to growing
and supporting a network of Journey through the Universe
Learning Communities. It is a commitment flowing from our deep
belief that it takes a community to educate a child … and a network
of communities to reach a generation.
Supporting a network whose members
share common goals allows the Center to maximally leverage available
resources, and also gives an individual community the ability to
contribute to the greater network with their unique strengths,
interests, and assets. We are also committed to realizing the full
potential of this network, characterized by the free flow of ideas,
information, and programming between communities.
The Center will foster
collaborations between communities through an annual meeting,
teleconferences, and web environments where recipes for success and
resources can be shared; distance learning opportunities and web-based
lessons that encourage classes to work collaboratively at a distance;
and opportunities for Local Team members to observe programming in
