County wins superintendent association award for wetland educators partnership with Central Valley schools
Summary
Spokane County said it received an Association of Superintendents Award for a partnership training fifth-grade teachers in the Wetland Explorers curriculum with Central Valley School District.
Spokane County described a partnership with Central Valley School District that trains fifth-grade teachers in a Wetland Explorers curriculum, and officials said the effort earned an Association of Superintendents Award. “Partnership enables us to train all of the fifth grade teachers in the wetland explorers curriculum,” said Speaker 7, a county representative.
Speaker 7 explained the model: county staff train teachers in water-quality testing and curriculum, teachers lead pre-trip and post-trip lessons, and students participate in a field trip where teachers help lead activities. The speaker said the approach expands field-trip experience by preparing teachers to deliver the full curriculum.
Officials presented the award as recognition of a practical school–county collaboration; no new funding or policy change was proposed in the remarks.
