Since our inception in summer 2003, the NASA Center for Astronomy Education (CAE) has been devoted to the professional development of introductory, college-level astronomy instructors and to facilitating these instructors in building a community, both actual and virtual, in which their professional development can be sustained. CAE’s professional development and community building efforts include our national Teaching Excellence Workshops, Regional CAE Teaching Exchanges, our online monthly article This Month’s Teaching Strategy, Ideas from Your Classrooms, our moderated, academic listserv Astrolrner@CAE, and our extensive database of 2-year colleges and instructors teaching introductory, college-level astronomy. In addition to our professional development and community building efforts, we collaborate with, and advise, graduate students on projects which help us better understand, and meet the needs of, introductory, college-level astronomy instructors. We will present data on the scope of our past three years' activities. We will present future plans--including how these data drive our decisions. Finally, we will present how you can become a member of our community. The NASA Center for Astronomy Education (CAE) is supported by NASA’s Navigator Public Engagement program (which consists of several space telescopes--including SIM PlanetQuest, the Terrestrial Planet Finder, the Keck Interferometer, and the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer--whose ultimate mission is to search for extrasolar planets) and the Education and Public Outreach team of the Spitzer Space Telescope.
