AB: The DLESE Ambassadors Program will leverage the experience and expertise of current Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) users and provide important opportunities that promote DLESE to larger, more diverse communities. DLESE ambassadors will be comprised of small teams of practicing teachers (K-12, undergraduate, graduate, and informal educators), students, and researchers committed to facilitating effective DLESE use at local, regional, and national levels. Prior to serving as ambassadors, each DLESE Ambassador Program participant will attend a DLESE Ambassadors Institute. In addition to engaging in a series of orientation and training activities, the program participants will also receive outreach and instructional materials, as well as guidance and assistance in developing a strategic plan that is tailored to each team's target audience. The DLESE Ambassadors Program's coordinator and participants will work with the DLESE core services to facilitate the continued development and distribution of resources that support the implementation and adoption of DLESE into the classroom.
