Environmental Literacy and MWEE Capacity Building in Delaware School Districts

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project strengthens state and school district capacity to integrate environmental literacy (E-LIT) and Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEEs) into learning for Delaware students. Collaborators will create a Delaware MWEE Facilitator Guide and work directly with Caesar Rodney and Appoquinimink school districts and Sussex Montessori Charter School in Delaware to expand environmental education and develop E-LIT plans that serve as models for other districts.
