This Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the NOAA Mission-Related Education Awards program (CFDA 11.008) provides $150,000 to the Ripple Effect Water Literacy Project to expand and enhance their existing "Puddles to Floods Summer Institute" (P2F) initiative. The key products and services to be delivered through this funding include:
- Extending the reach of the P2F program to offer aligned Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) instructional units during the school year, in addition to the existing summer institute.
- Designing and enacting a professional development strand for school-based instructional coaches.
- Building a shared understanding and district-wide investment in a sophisticated instructional vision for science teaching.
The project will utilize a variety of delivery methods, such as field experiences for teachers, administrators, and students, summer institute PD, school-year teaching, virtual and in-person PLC meetings, workshops, and presentations to share program evaluation results. This award will fund these activities from January 1, 2025 through the ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026.
