Project
Stewardship makes learning about science and the environment
real, gives students hands-on opportunities to make a difference
by helping resource managers work towards conservation and
restoration goals, and builds a sense of community. |
-
Strengthen students’
observation, higher order thinking, decision-making social
participation skills around conservation and sustainability
issues;
-
Improve attitudes toward
science by connecting it to real life;
-
Instill an ethic of
stewardship toward Hawaii’s natural resources, which
translates to active and continued participation in caring
for the environment; and
-
Introduce students to careers
in conservation.

Program
Structure
The Project Stewardship program consists
of four modules, each with a different theme:
All modules contain pre-site visit,
on-site visit and post-site visit lesson plans and activities that
follow a progression of skills.
The modules fit well with a number of
secondary school courses, career pathways, and are aligned with State
Department of Education Content and Performance Standards.
