Goals:
- Expand and strengthen our core network of experienced educators and scientists through additional training of exemplary educators interested in serving as mentor teachers
- Further promote Great Lakes literacy by supporting educators, who want to extend learning and stewardship opportunities to students or colleagues, by way of providing stipends and guidance
- 45 mentor teachers having worked with 100 mentees across the basin to incorporate Great Lakes education and stewardship in their educational programming
