320 CODES Reflection 2

I want my work to not only reach kids but educators to implement my lesson plan into their after school program curriculum or school curriculum. Doing so will help promote awareness for water conservation education, constructing awareness about the importance of conserving water is vital, especially for youth. Eventually, we will put the importance of water infrastructure in the hands of a new generation. Therefore, we must teach them the reasons behind water conservation and practical usage. Water infrastructure is complex, if one factor changes slightly, the rest of the system can easily be thrown off. This is why we need to aid in introducing water infrastructure to youth, and this must be done in interactive ways. Interactive activities will keep students engaged and active in the topic of conversation.Stakeholders should play a role in major water supply and resource management decisions because water is a public good that directly affects their lives and their communities.Students are among our most significant stakeholders in this project. Allowing the younger generation to be involved not only helps our water but also helps the environment overall. In addition, better water quality leads to an improvement in the overall health of the community. Another stakeholder is taxpayers; their money funds the school and plays a massive part in its budget. Taxpayers fund water infrastructure in their neighborhoods and the schools that provide the students their education. In addition, they own houses in the area and have an interest in the water infrastructure and the education of their population.The district’s state government also assists with funding and quality of education which varies widely from state to state. Both federal and state governments play key roles in shaping the education system. The government is an active stakeholder that plays an immense part in school funding and the education system. The federal government passes education-related laws, which federal agencies implement through regulations. The State governments are responsible for setting curriculum standards and requirements for high school graduation. With the government setting these standards and rules they are primarily responsible for school curriculum over water infrastructure. In conclusion by engaging educators,students, and community stakeholders, this lesson plan aims for long term awareness and responsibility for water conservation
