PROGRAM GOALS
Considerations and Options

Page1| Page2| Page3

Encourage peer teaching opportunities through senior high students teaching younger students about data collection and analysis. Older students can assist with special events in the community such as river clean-up and storm drain stenciling whereby they would help with teams of younger students and youth service clubs. Senior students could review/make use of/evaluate river related curricula and recommend best units for peer learning.

Coordinate travel/training/networking opportunities for students/teachers/project managers. Provide student watershed tours similar to tours that local SWCD and watershed districts coordinate.

Hire students from post-secondary schools as interns for the program. Have post-secondary students take charge of macro invertebrate monitoring with high school students serving as assistants. College students could also assist/teach high school students how to set up and maintain a web page.

Students can research/collect historic narrative accounts of fisheries, land use, wildlife, drought periods, flooding, etc. as useful perspective of current river conditions.
