AB: The goal of the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP Federation) is "to establish and continuously improve science-based end-to-end processes that increase the quality and value of Earth science products and services throughout their life-cycle for the benefit of the ESIP Federation's stakeholder communities." In order to attain that goal, members of the ESIP Federation work together to develop educational products that utilize Earth science data and information and to coordinate related outreach efforts to increase the use of Earth science information in formal and informal educational contexts. In this presentation we will describe some of our educational products, many of which can be viewed on the ESIP Federation Education Center Web site; and describe some of our outreach efforts, which range from attending teacher professional meetings, and running teacher workshops to make our products more visible and usable, to presenting our products at educational and science meetings to help develop our pool of collaborators.
