HOW TO USE THIS PLAN
Statewide organizations can strengthen the work of local water educators by using this shared framework to mobilize funding and provide capacity-building opportunities where most needed. Water Education Colorado will use SWEAP to help guide a focused vision and strategy across Colorado, in partnership with the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) and other statewide organizations.
Water educators working at a regional, river basin (watershed), or local level can use this Plan to demonstrate how their actions align with statewide strategies and contribute to a statewide impact. In addition, the outcomes and strategies in SWEAP can be used to guide organizational strategic planning, program and curriculum development, and funding requests.
With youth audiences, the Colorado Department of Education and K-12 educators statewide can use SWEAP to guide professional development and the use of curriculum guides that help incorporate water literacy as part of implementation of Colorado Academic Standards.
For the purposes of the Basin Roundtables and Colorado Water Plan itself, SWEAP outcomes and strategies can be incorporated into Education Action Plans and future iterations of Basin Implementation Plans and the CWP.
