ANNOUNCEMENTS - Week 7
27 October 2000
According to reports we have received, participants are very
enthusiastic about the course. We understand that many are already promoting
weather in their schools and areas. We ask that in your weekly mentoring
interactions with participants through the rest of the course, you focus on
their Plans of Action to prepare for their weather education resource roles.
The Fall semester of DataStreme is running with 620 enrollees and 4
non-credit precollege educators via 83 LITs in 46 states. Our compliments to
you for such a fine effort.
