Welcome to Project SwellMission StatementThe intent of Project SWELL curricula is to foster a sense of environmental stewardship among our children - the leaders and environmental caretakers of our future.To achieve this goal, the San Diego Unified School District, the City of San Diego and San Diego Coastkeeper have united to enhance the existing science curriculum to address pressing environmental issues.  Recent EventsProject SWELL’s 2nd grade curriculum on Pebbles, Sand and Silt was launched at a May 24th press conference at the Santa Clara Recreation Center. Attendees viewed a demonstration of Project Swell lesson plans in action. In addition to Coastkeeper, participants included San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, representatives from the San Diego City Council, Port of San Diego and San Diego Unified School District, as well as a classroom of SDUSD students. With the launch of the 2nd grade unit, which will go into full rotation in September 2008, Project SWELL will be reaching over 42,000 elementary school students annually in San Diego City Schools. But we’re not stopping there – Project  SWELL has expanded to the Oceanside Unified School District (5th & 6th grades), and we are already planning for our next SWELL lessons for SDUSD.
Our goal with Project SWELL is simple – promote environmental stewardship among San Diego youth, while also enhancing educational opportunities for local students. |
