Trouble with Trash 2023-2024 Teacher Learning Community Application
Thank you for your interest in Crystal Cove Conservancy’s Trouble with Trash program!

This form is to help us keep track of the schools that would like to participate in the Coastal Dynamics field trips for the 2023-2024 school year. You do not need to complete this form if you are only planning to run the curriculum in your classroom without a field trip.

At Crystal Cove Conservancy, we recognize that field trip costs can be a barrier to access for many students. As a result, we offer financial support to elementary schools who seek to participate in Trouble with Trash field trips.  

As an accepted member of Crystal Cove Conservancy’s Trouble with Trash Teacher Learning Community, you will receive access to:
- Professional development opportunities and workshops;
- A scholarship towards each of your two field trips (normally $600 per class).

By becoming a member, you commit to:
- Attending a professional development workshop;
- Facilitating pre- and post-trip student assessments in the classroom;
- Sending Thank You notes to funders after your second field trip;
- Submitting final invoices to Crystal Cove Conservancy within 60 days of your program or by June 10, 2024 (whichever occurs first)

Each school only needs to complete this form once.  If more than one teacher from your school will be delivering Trouble with Trash curriculum in the classroom and attending the professional development sessions, please include the names and emails of the other teachers below.

If you have any questions about field trip logistics or funding, please contact Alyssa Aldaz, Crystal Cove Conservancy's Education Manager, via email at alyssa@crystalcove.org.

Field Trip Information
The Trouble with Trash program involves two field trips to Crystal Cove State Park.  We recommend that these field trips are spaced at least one month apart (although many teachers prefer more of a gap, so that they have time to complete the curriculum).  Field trip dates can be booked by contacting  erick@crystalcove.org.

Please note that the maximum group size for one field trip is limited to 50 students. If you have more than 50 K-2 students participating in the program, you will need to divide your group into two or more visits.
