Event Calendar

This fun-filled, 4-day institute combines field experiences with classroom activities. Participants visit different fresh water ecosystems to compare and contrast the habitats, fisheries, water, and wildlife under the tutelage of experts.

Program is free for middle school educators. Lake County teachers will receive a $70 stipend/day from a grant provided by the Larry L. and Michelle M. Murphy Trust. You must commit to attending all 4 days of the workshop. If for some reason you are unable to attend, notify the TLNC office (352-357-7536) so educators on the waiting list can be notified to attend.

* To become truly effective with STEM, educators need to build their skills. Participants will be given an opportunity to:
* Acquire and then use STEM content skills while at the same time providing a real world application of science.
* Develop an understanding of the complexity of sustainability issues by comparing and contrasting vastly different ecosystems.
* Produce a lesson plan to deliver active, interdisciplinary, and enriching educational experiences for their students using the outdoors as a key resource.
* Identify, select, and address appropriate Florida Curriculum Standards in STEM outdoor activity planning.
