pdf20XX - NOAA B-WET Grantee Survey
Start of Block: Introduction
Intro
This is a voluntary survey. A Word version is available to review and draft responses before
completing the online survey, but final responses should be submitted online through your
organization-specific link.
Please answer the following questions in reference to the most recently-completed grant year
of your current NOAA B-WET grant. You will be asked about a range of practices and
outcomes that represent the diversity of Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences
(MWEEs) offered by B-WET-funded projects, some of which may not apply directly to your
project. It is acceptable to answer “not applicable” (NA) in those instances.
MWEEs are multi-stage activities that include learning both outdoors and in the classroom, and
aim to increase the understanding and stewardship of watersheds and related ocean, coastal,
riverine, estuarine, and Great Lakes ecosystems of all participants. MWEEs for students consist
of multiple components: issue definition and background research, outdoor field activities,
stewardship action projects, synthesis, and conclusions. In addition, student MWEEs should
include teacher participation for the duration of the MWEE, be integrated with classroom
curriculum, use the local context for learning, consist of a set of activities over time, and
incorporate NOAA assets. MWEEs for teachers provide K-12 teachers opportunities for
professional development to build their confidence and capacity to implement MWEE activities
with their students, and should increase teachers’ knowledge and awareness of environmental
issues, model environmental education pedagogy, allow for adequate instructional time, provide
ongoing teacher support and appropriate incentives, and meet jurisdictional guidelines for
effective teacher professional development. For more information about the NOAA Meaningful
Watershed Educational Experience, click here: MWEE Definition 2018.
For the purposes of this survey, please respond in reference to NOAA B-WET-funded MWEEs
and professional development. Also, we realize that not all MWEEs are designed in the same
way and that your organization does not necessarily only offer one type. Because we are
attempting to generalize, we often ask you to consider a “typical” MWEE offered by your
organization. Please consider your most frequently offered B-WET-funded MWEE as “typical.”
All responses will be kept anonymous, that is they will not be associated with you and your
organization. THANK YOU in advance for your candor and thoughtfulness in answering the
questions that follow.
It will take between 30-60 minutes to complete this survey, depending on the nature of
Page 1 of 55
your project.
Notes:
• The term “organization” is used generically to mean the B-WET funds “grantee.” The
grantee may be one nonprofit organization or an academic institution completing the
work, or the grantee may be an institution that is serving as the leader of a partnership of
organizations that are completing the work. If you are the latter type of grantee, please
respond on behalf of your collective group of partners.
• We apologize for redundancy in information you have previously provided to NOAA BWET as part of your award. At this time, we are not able to link this national evaluation
system database with NOAA B-WET’s other databases.
• You can close the survey and return at a later time to the same place as long as you use
the same computer and that computer will save and retain the Qualtrics survey cookie
(some work and public computers do not save and/or retain cookies). Note that it will
NOT be possible to return to some sections of the survey once they have been
completed. It is strongly recommended that you review and compose your responses in
a Word version of the survey before completing the survey online.
• If you need to revise your response after completing the survey, please contact Bronwen
Rice , B-WET National Coordinator (Bronwen.Rice@noaa.gov) for a new link to update
your answers.
If you have technical issues or questions about this survey, please contact either your
regional B-WET manager or Bronwen Rice, B-WET National Coordinator
(Bronwen.Rice@noaa.gov).
Thank you.

front-end evaluation.)

Process/implementation
(examines the
implementation of a
project, focusing on the
effort invested in the
project and its direct
outputs. For example, an

evaluation might measure
how the project is being
delivered, who
participated, and whether
they were satisfied with
it). Note that this type of
evaluation is NOT the
same as a program
report!
