\n\tLake Champlain Sea Grant\u2019s Watershed Alliance Program educates K-12 students and their teachers about aquatic science in the Lake Champlain basin. Educators include three year-round staff and 10-20 undergraduate and graduate Watershed Educator interns during the university academic year.<\/p>\n
\n\tWatershed Educators gain valuable experience educating K-12 students about water resources and their local watershed. The interns receive training in stream ecology, watershed science,\u00a0and teaching science as inquiry. They learn important group management skills that are applicable both in the field and classroom. During 50 hours throughout a semester, each Watershed Educator teaches K-12 students about our watershed on board our research vessel on Lake Champlain, at local stream\u00a0sites, or in classrooms across the state.<\/p>\n
\n\tWith the end of this academic year upon us, we would like to take a moment to honor and recognize the amazing fleet of Watershed Educators that graduated this spring. Our 2020 graduates interned for more than one season and have been crucial to the success and development of our program by supporting new initiatives and elevating existing programs such as our partnership Sailors and Scientist camp and our Stream Monitoring programs.<\/p>\n
\n\tTo our graduating seniors\u2014we are so grateful to have been a stepping stone in your academic and professional pathway, and we are so excited to see what adventures come next!<\/p>\n
