The DataStreme courses are offered through Local Implementation Teams (LITs) located around the country. Typically composed of three members, LITs coordinate the selection and delivery of the course to approximately eight teacher participants each semester. Each team advertises the local course availability, recruits and selects participants, arranges and holds local meetings, individually mentors participants on course understandings and activities, provides participant evaluations, and assists in developing Resource Teacher action plans. Each LIT is composed of at least one master precollege teacher and most include one professional meteorologist, hydrologist, oceanographer or environmental scientist.
DataStreme Central, located at the AMS Education Office, develops instructional materials, provides logistical support to the LITs, conducts the credit-bearing course in which most DataStreme participants enroll, and administers the overall project.
A list (alphabetic by state) of LITs and their program area and contact information follows.

If there is no LIT listed near you or in your state, look at our Online LIT Leader list for opportunities to participate on an online course, or send an email to amsedu@ametsoc.org for assistance.
