WVClimate.org › Outreach› GLOBE TCP Training - Boulder, CO - September 2005

In September 2005, West Virginia State Climatologist Tina Cartwright attended a Trainer Certification Program (TCP) in Boulder, Colorado at GLOBE headquarters. Participants included science faculty and informal science educators from across the country and across the world. Training occurred at the NCAR/UCAR facility and also included a trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. At the conclusion of the training program, participants will be certified to conduct GLOBE workshops to train teachers to participate in the GLOBE Program.
