Summer Water Institute for Middle School Educators

June 9 through 12 from 8 AM to 4 PM
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 (35-357-7536) so educators on the waiting list can be notified to attend.
Educators travel a "watershed" and learn about pollution.

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.
* 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.
