SAMI SCHOOL & SALMON RESEARCH
Students at SAMI (Science and Math Institute) Tacoma Public Schools will be immersed in hands-on, real world marine biology projects guided by a salmon-focused curriculum of marine biology, local tribal culture and history. (((Need clarification)))
Students, faculty and volunteers will be conducting the core hands-on research activities while participating in educational and research programs under the guidance and direction of accredited researchers, instructors, fishery biologists, tribal partners, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), other professionals and experts with the assistance of Northwest Salmon Research (NWSR) volunteers.
The curriculum taught, and the body of educational information created, will be extended to the community in various ways, including through a collaboration with Chief Leschi Schools with an emphasis on Tribal Salmon Culture and Food Sovereignty. The educational benefits of salmon preservation will also be shared through the SAMI preschool outreach program with an early education salmon experience.
