Our very own Ms. Hall from Weaver Middle School recently participated in the Ohio Sea Grant’s Water and Wildlife Training for Educators at OS’s Stone Laboratory in Lake Erie. This seven-day workshop provided educators with practice using lessons from five national curricula: Project WET, Healthy Water, Healthy People, Project WILD, Project WILD Aquatic, Science and Civics.
Participants were immersed in the scientific practices of inquiry, questioning, and experimentation while working alongside Great Lakes researchers; practiced lessons to integrate Great Lakes science into their educational settings; participated in shoreline stewardship projects, and networked with colleagues to share and learn best practices for improving Great Lakes literacy.
