Abstract

This paper explores the roles that regional partners play in helping to support implementation within the GLOBE program, an international earth science and education program. Researchers at SRI International conducted case studies of these partners’ practice, in order to learn more about what contributes to effective program implementation that is embedded within an inquiry teaching approach.
