The Office of Education (OEd) is a staff office within the Office of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere (the NOAA Administrator) in downtown Washington, DC. OEd provides advice and counsel to the Under Secretary on matters pertaining to education.

OEd, in conjunction with the NOAA Education Council, coordinates education activities across NOAA and oversees the implementation of the NOAA's Education Plan and Policy. These efforts help to ensure that NOAA’s education programs and activities are based on NOAA science and support the agency's cross-cutting priority of promoting environmental literacy.

OEd also works with external partners to promote environmental literacy efforts that directly benefit the NOAA mission.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth’s environment and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation’s economic, social, and environmental needs. See the NOAA Strategic Plan for more information.
