TERC will conduct a needs assessment of K-12 teachers and develop curriculum and professional development materials for the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) and other affiliates of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA). The project will help integrate state standards and teacher needs into NERRS programming for informal and classroom settings, and will draw from NERRS real-time water quality and weather monitoring data.
