Webinar Description:
Join us for a webinar that will show how Earth Science Week connects earth science educators to resources, organizations, opportunities, and more. During the webinar we'll go through materials in the Earth Science Week toolkit that are produced by AGI and other partner organizations—including professional societies, federal agencies, and private sector companies. We'll explore how those items can support NGSS-aligned instruction in earth and space science and encourage attention to the geosciences all year long.
Note: The first 50 people to register for and attend the webinar will be sent a 2023 Earth Science Week toolkit without cost.
