Science/Astronomy/Education is for educational web sites of interest to educators, parents, students, and professionals emphasizing the teaching or learning of various aspects of astronomy or astrophysics.
The best sites will try to teach or instruct about astronomy or astrophysics, although clear, easy-to-follow explanations of topics are useful as well.
There are also sites here that talk about educational programs of all levels, including - but not limited to, grade school, college programs, and graduate schools.
