This project provides funding to industry initiatives for science and math education to implement its project, which will design, demonstrate, and disseminate environmental education practices, methods, and techniques, that will serve to increase environmental literacy and encourage behavior that will benefit the environment in santa clara, alameda, and contra costa counties in california. The grantee will do this by hosting one-week externships consisting of environmental and educational activities with partner baywork at water agencies for local k-12TH grade teachers at title i schools. During each day, teachers meet industry professionals, tour wastewater plants, freshwater reservoirs, and dams. They will work with a curriculum coach to create relevant lesson plans for their classrooms that prepare students to take responsible actions around water resources and bring awareness for water utility careers. Teachers have the unique ability to change the trajectory of their students' lives and are aptly positioned to influence career decisions. This project will better equip them to inspire their students to pursue water and wastewater careers and ultimately become watershed stewards and environmental justice advocates this agreement provides full federal funding in the amount of $60,000.

Subrecipients: i. Resource area for teachers (raft), 501(c)(3) nonprofit - $5,000 II. SAN jose state university, local college - $5,000 III. The tech, 501(c)(3) nonprofit - $5,000 #9675; subaward oversight: subrecipients will sign contracts at the beginning of the project period, attend regular check-in meetings, and will receive payment of exactly $5,000 upon milestone completion.DS are included in this assistance agreement.outcomes:IT is anticipated that this project will result in the following deliverables: the outputs delivered by ignited, baywork, and subrecipients will equip teachers to develop and deliver lesson plans. Teachers' lesson plans and classroom implementation will enable US to reach our educational goal (career development) by featuring one or more water utility careers in the lessons and providing connections to role models in these fields. Teachers will also have a better understanding of educational pathways from baywork speakers. For our environmental goal (ensuring clean and safe water), the coach will ensure teachers' lesson plans increase environmental literacy, and will require teachers to include an environmental call-to-action project for students. The calls-to-action will deepen students' connection to nature, and encourage them to enact pro-environmental behaviors and ultimately become environmental stewards in their communities expected outcomes of the project include: the main short-term outcomes of these activities are to increase students' knowledge of the impact their actions can have on their local WA
