NEXT STEPS
6.1 Short term:
- Organize target faculty to get their input on module
- Input from experts/practitioners familiar with EJScreen
- Dissemination of the modules and resources
- ESA discovery (Alison)
- CourseSource
6.2 Long term:
- Apply for a grant to work with teachers to develop modules and pilot the modules in their courses
- Select a team interested in working on submitting funding applications
- Identify and select grant opportunities for developing educational resources or funding a working group on environmental data science education
- Submit grant applications!
