Teacher-Fellow teams are developing and delivering a roster of hands on experiences and workshops at the schools that promote student interest and awareness of theenvironmental sciences and current environmental issues in Puerto Rico. The Fellows are bringing environmental materials and tools to the classroom and helping teachers and K-6 students develop the ability to use these materials and tools. The teams are also bringing the classroom to the site of experimental fieldwork. The participants are working with and learning from a variety of partners in addition to the resources provided by UMET: the Institute of Tropical Forestry, an NSF-funded Long-Term Ecological Research project site, and the doctoral program in marine sciences at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez. Faculty participating include the Dean of the School of Environmental Affairs and represent a wide array of disciplines at UMET that have the environment as the central focus: marine sciences, oceanography, chemistry, toxicology, forestry, ecology, botany, geology, environmental education, coastal resources, natural resources, and environmental communication. These efforts to develop a comprehensive and cohesive effort in environmental sciences education for the island are enhanced by collaborating with the Mayaguez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico as UMET focuses on the northeastern part of Puerto Rico and the Mayaguez Program focuses on the west coast of the Island. The schools involved are in an area of the island that has a high degree of unemployment and only minimal access to basic services. The broader impacts of this project include the model it provides of bringing environmental sciences content knowledge and technical skills to a set of students and teachers who previously had little access to either and the opportunity it provides for the university involved to broaden and enrich its own program through cooperation with neighboring institutions.

教师的团队正在向学校发展和交付经验和讲习班的阵容，以促进学生对环境科学的兴趣以及波多黎各的当前环境问题的认识。研究员正在将环境材料和工具带到课堂上，并帮助教师和K-6学生发展使用这些材料和工具的能力。 团队还将教室带到实验现场工作的地点。除UMET提供的资源外，参与者还与各种合作伙伴合作：热带林业研究所，NSF资助的长期生态研究项目网站以及波多黎各大学玛雅格斯大学海洋科学博士学位课程。 参与的教师包括环境事务学院的院长，代表UMET的各种各样的学科，其环境是中心重点：海洋科学，海洋学，化学，毒理学，毒理学，林业，生态学，植物学，地质学，环境教育，环境教育，沿海资源，自然资源和环境交流。随着UMET专注于波多黎各大学的玛雅拉港大学校园的合作，可以增强这些努力在该岛环境科学教育方面的全面和凝聚力的努力，从而增强了这项努力，而UMET专注于波多黎各东北部，而玛雅格港计划则侧重于该岛的西海岸。 所涉及的学校位于该岛的一个地区，该地区具有高度失业，仅对基本服务的机会最少。 该项目的更广泛的影响包括它提供的模型，它将环境科学内容知识和技术技能带给以前几乎无法获得的学生和老师，以及它为大学提供的机会通过与邻近机构的合作来扩大和丰富自己的计划。 该项目正在获得生物科学局的部分支持，标题：增强科学技术（Fest）机构的研究员：Metropolitana大学（UMET）PI/CO-PI：JUAN MUSA，ALBERTO RIVERA RIVERA REARTASPARTNASKARTNER学区； 卡罗来纳芬粉：每年$ 1,492,509数量的研究员数量：8毕业生，8个本科生：项目的农村目标受众：基础NSF支持的学科：环境科学和技术
