Teachers develop and present experiential lessons based on the MA Education Frameworks (NGSS) and centered on the local environments (Beach & Dune, Dune Forest, Kettlehole pond, Freshwater Swamps) and history (Pilgrims, Shipwrecks & U.S. Lifesaving Service). Lessons also include: Nightwalk, Group Dynamics, and Pizza Making. Staff members are also responsible on a rotating basis for helping with meal preparation and serving, bedtime duties, group supervision during short bus trips to various natural and historical areas of the outer Cape, and the overall care and maintenance of the facility.</span><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="https://sites.google.com/dy-regional.k12.ma.us/need-academy-grade-5-seashore/home">NEED Academy~the 5th grade Seashore Trip</a></span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><br style="font-size:12.8px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><span style="font-size:12.8px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline">Qualifications: Bachelor's Degree.
