This award is being used to convene an expert workshop on STEM educator professional development using online and blended delivery methods and their potential application within the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program. GLOBE is an international science and science education program, jointly managed by NASA and NSF, that engages educators and students in collecting protocol-driven data on more than 55 different environmental parameters and contributing those observations to a global database. Elementary and secondary students in more than 110 countries participate in the program. The workshop will identify the current state of knowledge regarding effective online and blended professional development models that have the greatest potential to be used by the GLOBE program. Switching to a mostly online format for training teachers in the GLOBE protocols - currently done through face-to-face workshops - will allow the GLOBE program to continue growing in a more cost effective way. The workshop will also identify a set of important education research questions that can leverage the large and diverse GLOBE community as a research platform. These include issues such as how effective online professional development links to student achievement in STEM, cultural factors that may influence the effectiveness of educator professional development, and how to scale-up effective professional development practices.The "GLOBE Program Online Teacher Professional Development Conference" is being convened at NSF headquarters in early September 2014. It will bring together 20 participants with expertise in STEM educator professional development, online learning, and the GLOBE program. The main deliverable of this workshop will be a report identifying the most appropriate and best strategies for using online and blended training for GLOBE program educators and a preliminary education research agenda that might leverage the unparalleled opportunities offered by the extensive and culturally diverse community that engages in GLOBE activities.

该奖项用于使用在线和混合交付方法及其在全球学习中的潜在应用以及使环境（Globe）计划受益的专家研讨会及其在全球学习和观察中的潜在应用（Globe）计划。 Globe是一项由NASA和NSF共同管理的国际科学与科学教育计划，它使教育工作者和学生收集有关55多个不同环境参数的协议驱动数据，并将这些观察结果贡献到全球数据库。 110多个国家 /地区的小学和中学学生参加了该计划。研讨会将确定有关有效在线和混合专业发展模型的当前知识状态，这些模型具有最大的潜力，可以被Globe计划使用。为全球协议中的培训教师改用主要在线格式（目前是通过面对面的研讨会完成），将使Globe计划继续以更具成本效益的方式增长。 研讨会还将确定一系列重要的教育研究问题，这些问题可以利用大型全球社区作为研究平台。 这些问题包括如何有效的在线专业发展与STEM学生成就的有效链接，可能影响教育专业发展有效性的文化因素以及如何扩展有效的专业发展实践。“ Globe Program在线教师专业发展会议”将于2014年9月上旬在NSF Headquarters召开。它将在STEM Educator Defortain Professional Dexpliact Dexpliacts Insportment，在线学习和在线学习，并将20个参与者与Globsement，Online Globe Embole，Elline Globe召集。 该研讨会的主要交付方式将是一份报告，该报告确定了为Globe计划教育者使用在线和混合培训的最合适和最佳策略，以及初步的教育研究议程，该议程可能会利用参与全球活动的广泛和文化多样化社区提供的无与伦比的机会。
