National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Education supports an informed society that uses NOAA-related sciences to make the best social, economic, and environmental decisions. The "2016-2017 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Education Implementation Plan" has been developed as a companion to the "Education Strategic Plan 2015-2035: Advancing NOAA's Mission through Education" (ED571869). The implementation plan highlights priority actions that improve NOAA's ability to support, plan, and deliver high-quality education programs. This document builds upon NOAA's ongoing work in education and describes how NOAA plans to update agency-wide priorities, reach more people from all backgrounds, and maintain relevance in a changing world.
