This paper examines one world's largest STSPs—an international environmental science education program called GLOBE (Global Learning Observations Benefit Environment)—and proposes recommendations scientists about how they can get most out teaching relationship students teachers. is an K–12 STSP that engages Earth's Systems investigations. Extensive training needed for collect report accurate data scientists, special preparatory curricula make effective motivating. Recognizing these issues, this was conducted specifically identify recommend a set material design criteria implementation STSPs elementary middle school levels. The conclusions—the result background research, extensive interviews consultation teachers—provide guidance other enhance development engaging materials.
