The
curriculum was first piloted in Baltimore City public schools in 2002. The
curriculum is now being utilized in both private and public middle schools
and high schools in Maryland, New York, Washington, and Montana. In addition,
the program is being used by a small school on the Juan Fernandez Islands,
Chile, where we are collaborating with scientists who are tracking Pink-footed
Shearwaters. Students from Tacoma, WA (where the Shearwaters migrate to),
will communicate by e-mail with the Chilean students with the help of their
Spanish teacher. Plans are underway to establish similar sister school programs
between the U.S. and Argentina, Qatar, Israel, Jordan and Palestine, allowing
students around the globe to exchange information about their cultures,
environments, and the migrating animals that know no political boundaries.
