Area

 

Join the Inland Seas Education Association for the Invasive Species
Teacher Workshop on November 15 & 22, 2010 from 4:30-7:30pm at the
Boardman River Nature Center in Traverse City. The Invasive Species
Field Course has been developed to teach educators about aquatic and
terrestrial invasive species in the Great Lakes region, and to prepare
them to effectively teach their students about invasive species
prevention and control. This two-session workshop is FREE and open to
teachers of any grade level, but space is limited to twenty
participants. Participants will receive a stipend for each session they
attend, and an additional stipend for classroom supplies will be
provided to those attending both sessions. For more information or to
register for the workshop, go to the ISEA website www.schoolship.org
<http://www.schoolship.org/>  or contact ISEA Education Director
Christine Crissman at (231) 271-3077 or ccrissman at schoolship.org.

 

The Invasive Species Teacher Workshop will use a unique combination of
content presentations and classroom and outdoor activities to inform
teachers about current invasive species issues and how they can
incorporate invasive species curriculum into their classrooms.
Presentations will be provided by recognized experts and will include an
overview and history of invasive species, identification of common
invaders, and efforts to control and prevent their introduction and
spread. Teachers will participate in activities that can be incorporated
into their classrooms, and will be provided with a wealth of educational
materials, including fact sheets, watch cards, identification books,
posters, DVDs, and curriculum. 

 

This workshop is funded by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources
and Environment.
