Learning Goals

Coastal Areas Climate Change Education Partnership Prepares Educators, Students and Professionals for a Changing World.

Join forces with educators and scientists in the Coastal Areas Climate Change Education Partnership (CACCE) to create innovative education programs for schools and organizations in Florida and the Caribbean to improve current and future generations' understanding of climate change and the local impacts.

  • Multiple Outcome: allows for people and organizations to work together without necessarily having the same immediate goals.
  • Interdisciplinary: builds on expertise from more than one discipline
  • Research and learning: assumes that people learn when engaged in research
