- Webinars on Great Lakes Climate Literacy and climate change resources
available to educators
- Resource room for you to post and find climate change resources

education community to provide information about research findings and
issues about climate change in the Great Lakes;
- Solicit feedback from educators through an online focus group format
about their use of and need for climate change curriculum and resources; and
- Enhance and expand a network of scientists, educators of all levels, and
