The results of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate surveys help science education professional development providers successfully work with educators.

Abstract

NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) explores the Earth, the Sun, our solar system, the galaxy, and beyond through four divisions: Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, and astrophysics. Teams of education and public outreach (EPO) specialists work alongside NASA scientists to develop and implement programs and resources designed to inspire and educate students, teachers, and the public.
