The Astronomical Society of the Pacific increases the understanding and appreciation of astronomy by engaging scientists, educators, enthusiasts and the public to advance science and science literacy. In the last ten years three networks of educators have grown to serve hundreds of educators and hundreds of thousands of participants each year. These networks are partnering with Globe at Night, a program of NOAO, to promote dark skies as a universal resource, one of seven primary US themes being developed for the International Year of Astronomy in 2009. In this presentation we will introduce the networks (Project ASTRO, Astronomy from the Ground Up, and Night Sky Network), the professional development opportunities through Globe at Night for the network participants, and highlight some of the results as they implement what they have learned with their public audiences.
