Dear Massachusetts Science Teachers Association,
Please share this professional development opportunity with your science teachers. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is offering Climate Discovery Online Courses for Educators (<http://ecourses.ncar.ucar.edu>http://ecourses.ncar.ucar.edu ). The content in these courses was developed by the world-renowned scientists at NCAR. We are currently accepting registrations for our fall session, although this information can be shared year-round. Below is a brief explanation of NCAR's Climate Discovery Online Courses for Educators. This fall courses start September 19th. 

Thank you for sharing this with your science community.
