Through NOAA B-WET, NESS established a three-year teacher cohort study and research group with alternative schoolteachers aimed at developing and testing best practices for achieving identified B-WET program outcomes in alternative school settings. The OELP professional development program also gives teachers the knowledge and encouragement to conduct MWEE in their classrooms using the best practices discovered in the alternative teacher cohort study and research group.
