October 2006 to Present. Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), Program Manager, Earth System
Science Education Alliance. A national program providing colleges and universities courses in ESS for pre- and in-service teachers. PI of NASA-supported Global Climate Change Education Exchange, developing climate change education program; and PI of NOAA-supported climate and ocean literacy program development.
March 2005 to September 2006. Executive Director of the Challenger Space Center, Peoria. AZ. Led an informal science center catering to the need to inspire the next generation of space explorers.
June 2004 to present. Consultant on various educational projects, including Tri-State History Consortium—a three-year Department of Education grant providing professional development to history teachers in Utah,
Montana, and Washington.
January 1994 to May 2004. Program Manager, NASA Classroom of the Future Wheeling Jesuit University, West
Virginia. Principal investigator of a five-year project to develop online K-12 Earth system science teacher graduate courses for NASA. Led a team developing interactive multimedia products focused on math, science, and technology education using aerospace-related discoveries, science, and technology to enhance learning for
K-12 students. A key product of this effort was the development of Exploring the Environment, a Website that now draws some 25 million hits per year and engages K-16 students in analyzing natural and human-induced changes to the environment. (see: http://www.cotf.edu/ete ).
