Leopold Education Project - Striving for Land Ethic - 102409
|
In this environmental education workshop for teachers of grades 5-12, hands-on participation in a number of Leopold Education Project (LEP) activities will provide basic but highly useful information in Michigan natural history and conservation ethics, preparing educators to successfully and efficiently use curriculum materials with students. Each participant receives lunch, the LEP Teacher’s Guide, A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold, outdoor “Task Cards”, and many additional supplemental materials.
What is LEP? The Leopold Education Project is an innovative, interdisciplinary education program based on Aldo Leopold’s classic writings in his book A Sand County Almanac. Through reading about Leopold’s recorded discoveries and participating in meaningful hands-on activities, students are provided with opportunities to increase their appreciation for the land and to expand their ecological awareness.
This workshop is strongly recommended for teachers or teams interested in participation in the NE MI Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative grant.
