A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
With a shared vision on education this partnership will make both programs more sustainable. UW-Stevens Point’s College of Natural Resource undergraduate and graduate students now have the opportunity to take part in formal education, environmental education and practical experiences with the charter school programming. It gives the UW-Stevens Point students the ability to develop long term projects with the TRCCS students in addition to the day programming they currently participate in. An additional collaboration is CWES provides lunches for the students and staff at the Charter School, some products produced from the CWES and TRCCS organic gardens. With this partnership TRCCS is developing relationships with many other UW-Stevens Point programs as well, including environmental education, education, youth programming, camp management, dietetics, art, music, dance, drama and any other related majors.
A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
The TRCCS was one of four Wisconsin awardees, and among only 48 schools nationwide, that were recognized by the US Dept. of Education for a Green Ribbon Award.
