IRIS Education and Outreach Program Plan
The IRIS Education and Outreach (E&O) program held a workshop in April 1998, bringing together individuals from the seismological and science education research communities, K-16 educators, and representatives of other Earth science organizations with education and outreach programs. The discussions and outcomes of that workshop form the basis for a medium- to long-range planning document for the E&O program. The Education and Outreach Program Plan not only describes the mission, goals and objectives of the E&O program but sets these in the context of current needs in K-12, higher and informal education and in the context of existing Earth science education and outreach programs. It is hoped that this document will be a useful resource for a broad audience, including the IRIS community and those involved in education and outreach activities in Earth Science. A draft of the program plan is currently being finalized. The draft will be reviewed by workshop attendees and by additional reviewers not associated with the planning process. The program plan is expected to be published in June 1999.
