The American Meteorological Society (AMS) held its Fourth Symposium on Education in conjunction with the 75th Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas. The theme of the symposium was 'Opening the Doors to the Future: Education in the Classroom and Beyond.' Thirty-eight oral presentations and 53 poster presentations summarized a variety of educational programs or examined issues of importance for both the precollege and university levels. There were also two joint sessions with other meetings. The K-12 education session was held as part of the 24th Conference on Broadcast Meteorology, in recognition of the contributions made by media meteorologists. The second joint session was with the 11th International Conference on Interactive Information and Processing Systems for Meteorology, Oceanography, and Hydrology on new technologies for the classroom. Over 200 people representing a wide spectrum of the Society attended one or more of the sessions in this two-day conference, where they increased their awareness of educational initiatives of members and institutions associated with the AMS.
