As one of her courses her Spring Semester, Danielle enrolled in a Public Policy and Administration class. This applied learning course separates students into groups where they work with non-profit organizations to improve policy options, provide information, and generate positive relationships. Danielle and her team worked closely with the National Wildlife Federation and their role in environmental literacy and climate change education. The team utilized extensive quantitative research, including the coding and collection of curricula data in school districts in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. Utilizing software such as ArcGIS, Zotero, Excel, and Microsoft Word, Danielle and team have put forth comprehensive data collection updates, plans, and potential policy alternatives. The team also used qualitative data collection, including interviews, focus groups, and extensive literature.
