B-WET Teacher Professional Development Non-Response Surv

20XX - NOAA B-WET PD Teacher

Survey - Nonresponse

Start of Block: Introduction

Intro This is a voluntary survey. Please answer the following questions in reference to your recently-completed Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE) professional development (PD). MWEEs are multi‐stag e activities that include learning both out doors and in the classroom, and aim to increase the understanding and stewardship of watersheds and related ocean, coastal, riverine, estuarine, and Great Lakes ecosystems of all participants. MWEE professional development (PD) provides K-12 teachers opportunities for professional development to build their confidence and capacity to implement MWEE activities with their students. It will take about 5 minutes to complete this survey. Your responses will be entered anonymously and will not be associated with you as an individual. THANK YOU in advance for your candor and thoughtfulness in answering the questions. Your responses will be aggregated with other teachers’ responses, and will be used by NOAA B-WET and B-WET- funded organizations to improve future professional development programs. Thank

you. If you have questions about this survey, please contact Bronwen Rice, NOAA B- WET National Coordinator, Bronwen.Rice@noaa.gov
