Mara Koenig posted an update in the group Interpretation and Education (Recommendations 19 and 20) Sowing the Seed of Wonder is very comprehensive for the EE that is conducted and should be conducted at field stations and other program divisions within the Service. Here are my comments,
1. Standard #2 does not reflect the vision of the age in which the Service should be targeting for EE programs. The vision states Grades 3-6 and the standard states Grades 3-7.
2. Strategy 2.2A. Programs offered by the Service should correlate to national and state academic education standards. Otherwise schools may not participate due to the required expectations for educational achievement.
3. Strategy 5.1C. Font size changed.
4. The document should include other programs within the Service to provide EE, not just field stations. There are several Service staff who work in Fisheries, Ecological Services that conduct EE programs.
