Goals
The primary goal for this project will be to work with a group of K-12 educators to develop a set of project-based learning resources and materials that will focus on teaching key watershed concepts to Exceptional students. Exceptional students are those who exhibit a diverse range of talents and strengths and benefit from a variety of learning environments and teaching strategies. This group may include Special Education students, English language learners, as well as Gifted and Talented students. A secondary goal will be to make these resources available to the general education community through an online website as well as through presentations and publications.
