Eileen Tramontana posted an update in the group Environmental Education I agree with Berk on the 3 visits to a Refuge. Many, many schools will not be able to give the time nor have the funds for 3 visits. This could be altered by staff making visits to the schools and giving follow-up activities for the teachers and students to implement.
Also, in some states the Next Generation Science Standards are not being adopted or being adopted with changes (as is being done in Florida). We need to go with state education standards too.
I have also spent many years developing curricula both printed and online. There is so much that already exists that could be easily adapted for the needs of each Refuge. We don't need to reinvent the wheel just tweak the design to make is suit our Refuges' needs.
