Teacher Summer Institute: Watershed Pen Pal Program
August 12
This is day 4 of a 4-day teacher professional development series—offered by Friends of the St. Claire River—for St. Clair County 4th and 5th grade teachers that includes 28 hours of State Continuing Educator Clock Hours (SCECHs) approved by the Michigan Department of Education and a $100/day stipend.
Teachers will be introduced to resources and community partners, given considerable time to reflect on their outdoor field experiences, and to begin development of their own Meaningful Watershed Education Experiences (MWEE) Plans detailing how they will build MWEEs into their teaching cycle throughout the year, and how the activities will connect to content standards.
