The Dunes in Schools program is a Professional Development program that teaches educators in middle school how to implement lessons about rare dune lakes and barrier island ecosystems in their local environment.
The goal of the curriculum is to build students’ knowledge about dynamic coastal systems and how sea oats will benefit this unique habitat. The lessons correlate to the State of Florida’s Science middle school standards. Dunes in Schools engage students with a hands-on science program that encourages each of them to become personally vested in their local environment by gaining an understanding and awareness of coastal systems.
