Watershed Study Curriculum

Conducts assessment and evaluation of watershed study curriculum. In 2018, the Wyland Foundation expanded upon their traditional Mobile Learning Center (MLC) to develop the
Marine Conservation Education Program (MCE) which provides educational materials, lesson plans, and
activities for students and teachers to complete before and after the MLC visit. From May to August 2018, a pilot phase of the MCE Program was implemented in 16 classrooms at 3 school
sites to over 400 students in 4th and 5th grade. Three data collection tools were used to assess the success of
the MCE Program and collect important information from students and teachers. Below are some key findings.
