Crewmates and Classmates Program Guidebook “What I hear I forget, what I see I remember, what I experience I understand!” Dear Teachers: Coast Guard Headquarters is pleased to offer Crewmates Classmates program and guidebook. In it, educators and students will find practical maritime-related activities for elementary and middle school students. Originally conceived and produced for use by cutters working with elementary teachers, we are now offering it for use by all Coast Guard units, especially those with Partnership in Education (PIE) programs, service-wide. We appreciate and acknowledge the generosity of author Patricia Turner Custard, who wrote the guidebook ten years ago and recently updated it for our use. For nearly twenty years, Coast Guard members have supported students and teachers through the PIE program. Established in 1991, under authority of The National and Community Service Act of 1990, PIE promotes excellence in education, creates opportunities which enhance students’ academic abilities through efforts supporting local schools, exposes students to Coast Guard missions and increases potential for recruiting a diverse workforce. This guidebook offers hands-on activities that incorporate information about Coast Guard into suggested classroom science, math, reading, writing and history instruction. Under the age-old rubric that students forget what they hear, remember what they see, and learn what they experience, The Crewmates Classmates program brings the classroom to life. Its activities are designed to explore Coast Guard and its exciting maritime mission as a means to introducing subjects, augmenting and enhancing classroom instruction, and stimulating comprehension, and retention. We encourage all schools to implement this unique program, irrespective of PIE participation. Through it, educators will help their students experience adventures sure to last a lifetime.
