US Sailing Introduces "REACH" Curriculum for Teaching Math & Science National Consortium Member US Sailing has introduced a new middle school curriculum entitled REACH that utilizes sailing as an educational platform to teach STEM topics (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The modules can be used as a stand alone program or combined with "Learn Sailing Right!" beginner or intermediate programs offered by sailing schools. All ten modules are available in PDF form online and are free for use by schools and program throughout the United States. *Click here to visit US Sailing's REACH webpage to learn more and download the curriculum modules. * [ http://reach.ussailing.org ] _________________________________________ Sailors for the Sea Offers "Rainy Day" Kits Rainy Day Kits from National Consortium Member Sailors for the Sea are environmental lesson plans focused on marine ecology that can be taught to yacht clubs, sailing programs, and other low resource environments around the country.
