Chesapeake Bay Watershed 2019 Environmental Literacy Report: Results from Watershed ELIT Survey

Description

The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Environmental Literacy Indicator Tool (ELIT) was developed to monitor the capacity and progress of public school districts toward meting the environmental literacy goal stated in the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement: Enable every student in the region to graduate with the knowledge and skills to act responsibly to protect and restore their local watershed. The ELIT is administered biennially to all local education agencies (LEAs) in six jurisdictions: the District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. This report presents results only from LEAs that fall within the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
