Congratulations on completing Lesson 1! You're well on your way to understanding the Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience. In this lesson we:
- Established that the MWEE is a type of project-based learning designed to address the Environmental Literacy Goal of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.
- Identified that MWEEs support standards-based initiatives and research-based instructional models and are supported by teachers, administrators, nonprofits, and state and federal agencies.
- Reflected on case studies of MWEEs from throughout the region.
- Read and evaluated literature that demonstrates that MWEEs are a powerful education tool that support student achievement and engagement, advance 21st century skills and environmental stewardship and civic responsibility, and promote equity and environmental justice.
