Abstract
Between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2010 the Washington Watershed Education Teacher Training (WWETT) Program, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Bay Watershed and Training Program, offered sixteen marine-based professional development workshops, an online curriculum development course and support for meaningful watershed education activities with 163 educators involving 52 community partners and 75 college students and staff. The educators collectively serve more than 3,000 students and represent 77 different educational institutions. Outreach efforts have reached an additional 84 teachers, students and community partners. The positive results from the Workshop Survey and Looking Back Survey data affirm our direction after one year of WWETT program delivery. These results indicate that we delivered well-received workshop trainings which were relevant and valuable for participants, and which had a positive impact on our desired participant outcomes in a very short time frame. The data indicate that the factor most impacted by the workshop was participants’ knowledge and ability to access watershed education resources. Participants felt that hands-on learning experiences with experts is what worked best about the workshop.
