Introduction REACH Implementation Designs u Sailing Center
u Middle School Classroom (public, private, or charter)
u Collaboratively in a middle school classroom and at a sailing center (best)

There are three implementation designs that are being utilized by schools and sailing centers. Implementation designs vary due to funding resources, partnerships, school resources, and sailing center resources. You will need to select the best implementation design for you and your class or program.
US Sailing strongly recommends striving for a collaborative implementation design where schools and sailing centers work together to meet the needs of students. Best practice entails integrating programming collaboratively in the classroom, with both land based and on the water activities. When school officials collaborate with community partners (sailing centers) to fill gaps or weaknesses in student achievement, it maximizes everyone’s specializations and provides the optimal opportunity for student growth and achievement. This implementation design will take time to develop.
REACH can be implemented 100% at a sailing center, 100% in a middle school classroom, or most likely a combination of the two based on resources.
For Sailing Centers and Yacht Clubs using REACH for the first time we recommend implementing REACH as a no “wind activity”. Select and prepare materials for a few modules (suggested: Modules 1 – 6). This allows for instructors and sailing centers to test the curriculum and become comfortable with the concepts. Always begin with Part I of the module and select the next part based on your location, resources, and the background knowledge of your students.
Program Formats • After-school program at a sailing center supplementing science and math content in the classroom.
• A summer program taught by both a classroom teacher and a sailing instructor at a sailing center.
• A learn to sail program at a sailing center with a teacher volunteer for planning. • An in-school, class time program supplemented by field trips to sailing centers. • An in-school, class time program implemented at a sailing center. • Educational based instruction for “No Wind” Days at sailing centers. • Supplemental curriculum for classroom teachers in middle school classrooms.
