An Everglades Champion School encourages teachers to participate in Everglades Literacy professional development, integrates Everglades Literacy into the curriculum, promotes Everglades interdisciplinary projects and field experiences, as well as Everglades community and culture.

​

It is a call-to-action, designed to incentivize and empower schools to find their Everglades potential by focusing on curriculum, projects, and practices that become a part of their school culture. It will encourage schools to make Everglades conservation a core value of the institution.
