Educator Meet-Up: Engaging Youth in Coastal Flooding Community Science

Are you an educator in the Rockland area interested in engaging youth in observing and assessing the impacts of sea level rise and coastal flooding in your community? Come join us for a professional learning experience focused on resources and lessons that support groups of students and community members in collecting data and making observations during high tides and storms. This data helps improve National Weather Service flood forecasts and advisories in local communities, identifies locations vulnerable to flooding, and helps local emergency managers and decision-makers plan for coastal resilience.

During this workshop, we will:

• Explore NGSS-aligned classroom resources that support learning about sea level rise, build data literacy, and engage youth in community conversations about coastal resilience.
• Gain confidence and field work skills in the coastal flooding data collection protocol and data contribution.
• Connect with others in the area who are excited to support youth engagement with the Coastal Flooding Community Science Project.

Stipends available for participating educators.
