5203 |a"A Sea Grant initiative was developed to describe and evaluate the risk of live organisms in the classroom as a vector for the introduction and spread of invasive species. Background research was accomplished by sending an online questionnaire to British Columbia (BC) educators. BC curricula guidelines were reviewed to evaluate where the use of live organisms is recommended or purposed. A focus group discussion was conducted to evaluate the problem from the perspective of the educators and to develop solutions that the educators themselves would find effective. This study revealed that live organisms used as teaching tools in the classroom are a potential vector of invasive species in BC. Recommendations include the development of a standard and simple protocol to provide accurate and detailed information with the sale of any live organism in the province, and the amendment of current curricula to include species to use (or avoid) and how to properly care for and dispose of the live organisms. Outreach and training for educators regarding invasive species information, organism care, and proper disposal instructions will be the most effective method of managing live organisms in the classroom as a vector of invasive species introduction and spread"--Abstract, page v.
