National Evaluation System.

The NOAA Office of Education's Bay Watershed Education and Training
(B-WET) program seeks to contribute to NOAA's mission by supporting
education efforts to create an environmentally literate citizenry with
the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to protect watersheds and
related ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes ecosystems. B-WET currently
funds projects in seven regions (California, Chesapeake Bay, Great
Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii, New England, and the Pacific Northwest).
B-WET has created an across-region, internal evaluation system to
provide ongoing feedback on program implementation and outcomes to
ensure maximum quality and efficiency of the B-WET program. The
evaluation system is sustained by B-WET staff with occasional
assistance from an outside contractor.
B-WET awardees and the awardees' professional development teacher-
participants are asked to voluntarily complete online survey forms to
provide evaluation data. One individual from each awardee organization
is asked to complete a form once per year of the award, and the teacher
participants are asked to complete one form at the end of their
professional development program and another form at the end of the
following school year.
Affected Public: State, local and tribal governments; not-for-
profit institutions, business or other for-profit organizations,
individuals or households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
