MPA Teacher Toolkit Unit 2: Grades 3-5
About this Project
The Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino MPA Collaboratives teamed up to create MPA Teacher Toolkits that feature conveniently packaged MPA curriculum, materials, and related activities. The classroom lesson plan is focused on the intersection of MPAs, traditional knowledge and tribal perspectives on ocean stewardship. The lesson plans are part of a teacher toolbox that contains useful place-based cultural curriculum relevant to students in the region. This tribal curriculum is meant to serve as a template for adaptation by other California tribes. The Toolkits are available for loan across the counties in school classrooms and with non-formal environmental education. The curricula are NGSS-aligned and designed for students in grades K-5.
