GCCE Project Goals
The goals of the GCCE project are to use NASA’s unique contributions to climate and Earth system science to:• Goal 1: improve the teaching and learning about global
climate change in elementary and secondary schools, on college campuses, and through lifelong learning;
• Goal 2: increase the number of people, particularly high school and undergraduate students, using NASA Earth observation data/NASA Earth system models to investigate and analyze global climate change issues;
• Goal 3: increase the number of undergraduate students prepared for employment and/or to enter graduate school in technical fields relevant to global climate change.
6
Implementation Approach
Fund Activities Designed to Improve the Quality of Global Climate Change and Earth system science education at the elementary, secondary, and undergraduate levels• Global Climate Change Education (GCCE): Research
Experiences, Teaching & Learning Cooperative Agreement Notice Released June 5, 2009• http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations
Build an active network of educators, students, and researchers who are engaged with one another and the broader community of global climate change and Earth system science education and research
7
Communication and Integration
Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC) to Support Project IntegrationMonthly Webex/Telecons• Four projects will present highlights each month• Will work with PIs over the next three weeks to establish
schedule for project presentations
GCCE websites to facilitate communication and knowledge sharing• NASA Portal – general education project information and
current events• GCCE website – information specific to GCCE and global
climate change community, links to other sites • Under construction – First Addition - Project Summaries-
single page summaries of each project, including key words and photograph(s) of PI/CO-Is are due July 17 to Lin Chambers
8
Project Reporting
GCCE Quarterly Progress Reports • First reports due the end of September to Sharon Welch
– On line reporting will be used if operational– Forms will be sent out to be filled in if on line not
available
NASA Office of Education Reporting

Earth Science Education Product Review
Independent peer review of SMD education products
This review is required before materials can be posted on the NASA portal and pass the NASA Communications Materials Review (CMR) and be printed and distributed as NASA education materials.
Review Process Managed for the NASA Science Mission Directorate by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES)
Process description, including schedule of reviews, education product development guidelines, review criteria, and submission forms can be found at - http://www.strategies.org/education/index.aspx?sub=education&sub2=productevaluation

What is OEPM?
The Office of Education Performance Measurement (OEPM) System is the official Performance Measurement Application for the NASA Education Portfolio
As the centralized collection point for performance measurement data, OEPM provides a: • Common set of data definitions and standardized
data collection instruments• Structure for linking data collection items to OE
measures, objectives, and outcomes• Structure for validating measures, business
rules/processes
OEPM External User Functionality
External Users Can
Access Data Collection Instruments • Surveys • Summary forms • Student profiles and award records
Run Reports• Raw Data Reports• “Canned/Static” Reports
You Can Use OEPM to Do the Following
Email/administer surveys that are attached to your project’s/program’s administrative level
Create Excel spreadsheets that contain survey responses from your project/program participants
Complete project/program related summary forms
Create and view reports that are attached to your administrative level

Office of Education Reporting – Next Steps
Sharon Welch will send a complete list of measures mapped to objectives to Pis (action due July 10)
PIs to look over the list of GCCE performance measures on pg. 14 of this document, identify those measures that relate to their project, and send self-identified measures to Sharon Welch via e-mail by July 17.
Following receipt of identified measures, telecons will be set up with each PI team to discuss the measures and surveys and other instruments available to assess and report the measures.
