Goals
Improve and broaden education about sustainability.
Improve and broaden education about Puget Sound—especially nearshore and
estuarine habitat; sources of and prevention of pollution; and marine
protected areas.
Make lasting, systemic and positive change in the
provision of education about the environment and sustainability, kindergarten
through graduate school (K-20).
|
- Improve teaching and learning
(e.g., curricula, methods, assessment, connections across disciplines).
|
|
- Use
school facilities and campuses as learning laboratories (e.g., green design,
habitat restoration, elimination of the use of toxic substances).
|
|
- Connect
schools with the communities around them to give students real-world
experience in addressing environmental and sustainability issues (e.g.,
assisting nonprofit groups and other organizations with projects, carrying out
research, and learning about how government addresses issues).
|
Better educate the public about sustainability, environmental protection, and
Puget Sound.
In order to reach these goals, we seek to:
-
Develop, replicate and scale up effective model programs.
-
Better
link parts of the educational system.
-
Broaden and deepen media
coverage of issues of interest to the foundation.
