Monterey Bay Salmon & Trout Project

Principal Teaching STEP
By Gary Stebbins, Middle School Principal
STEP (Salmon & Trout Education Program) in 2003-2004

At this time of year, we look forward to the coming busy months of our STEP activities. Certainly, we have a lot of planning and organizing to do at this time. We do know that we will be having a STEP Workshop for new STEP teachers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, scheduled February 7th and 8th. We certainly look forward to being partners with such a well-respected environmental organization. There's a possibility, that we will conduct a second Workshop in January at a Felton/Boulder Creek site. There's been a lot of work done on a new STEP curriculum. This demanding curriculum work has been going on for approximately two years. It is our hope that the new curriculum will be ready for our Workshop/s. Beyond that, we need to process several permits for both the intended Workshops and for the expected distribution of steelhead trout eggs to certified STEP classes. You will recall that we had a busy time, last year, distributing eggs to 100 classes in six counties.
