GLOBE professional learning opportunities are offered regularly though the NH Leitzel Partnership. Select highlights from past trainings are listed below.

• Educators engage in Earth Around Us professional learning at workshops and conferences, including: New Hampshire Environmental Educators conference, New Hampshire Science Teachers Association Conference, Upper Valley Teaching Place Collaborative, and the NH Timberland Owners Association.

• Jennifer Bourgeault led a workshop titled “Environmental Data Collection & Data Literacy through the GLOBE Program” at the Christa McAuliffe Transforming, Teaching, & Technology Conference, November 2021.

• Jennifer Bourgeault and Haley Wicklein have facilitated workshops on GLOBE Carbon Cycle protocols and activities for the Latin American GLOBE region in 2024, at the GLOBE Annual Meeting in 2021 () and 2023, in collaboration with the Shelburne Farms GLOBE Partnership in Vermont in 2020, and a series of carbon trainings at the �鶹app from 2007 to 2014.

The team has participated in the UNH STEM Educators Summit, leading workshops on Elementary GLOBE and the Question Formulation Technique from the .

Examples of some NH GLOBE outreach activities:

• Mentored science teachers at Oyster River Middle School and elementary educators at Mast Way Elementary in GLOBE clouds data collection and activity sequence (2023-2025).

• Dr. Elizabeth Burakowski worked in collaboration with the NH GLOBE Team to set up a soil frost and snow depth data collection site with first graders at Moharimet Elementary School, Madbury, NH (2022).

• The NH GLOBE Team, STEM professionals, and a USDA Forest Service representative led with three educators and 40 students from Maple Street Magnet School, Rochester, N.H., in April and June as part of the development of activities and mural panels for an Earth Around Us water tent (2022–2023).

• Led activities at a virtual STEAM day at a local elementary school, highlighting GLOBE cloud activities (2020).

• Supported UNH graduate student Eliza Balch in representing the Leitzel Center at a STEAM day at a local elementary school with macro-invertebrates and the GLOBE Water Wonders activity (2019).

• Showcased the GLOBE Clouds and Biometry protocols at the family-friendly UNH STEM Day at a UNH football game in November (2019).

• Observed and recorded measurements using the GLOBE Observer app during (2017).

The NH GLOBE Partnership mentors students carrying out GLOBE research investigations and presenting at the GLOBE Northeast/Mid-Atlantic . Projects have included:

The New Hampshire Education and Environment Team (NHEET) was a public-private collaborative of teacher professional development providers in the fields of environmental education, natural science, and scientific inquiry.  Members included NH Project Learning Tree, Project WET at the NH Department of Environmental Services, Projects WILD and HOME at the NH Fish and Game Department, the GLOBE Program, �鶹app Cooperative Extension and the USDA Forest Service.

NHEET was active from 2002 to 2019. At the beginning of the collaborative, the partners offered week-long summer workshops for educators, with a focused effort to register multiple educators from a school to enhance vertical learning progression in science education.

Beginning in 2007, NHEET was awarded funding from the NH Department of Education’s Math and Science Partnership grant program to provide long-term professional development opportunities. The initial grant funded development of the (pdf) in partnership with K–12 educators, as well as its (pdf).

Those models were then the basis of 18-month and later 3-year projects with New Hampshire school districts. Professional development was focused on using science inquiry and field investigations around three environmental themes: Ecosystems and Habitats; Water and Watersheds; and Atmosphere, Weather and Climate.

At least 130 educators in more than a dozen school districts participated in 100 hours of professional learning during each school year with these long-term opportunities, and an additional 453 educators in the participating school districts attended day-long workshops.
