Cultivating Environmental Stewardship in New Orleans
Re-imagine your campus as a laboratory for applied sustainability education!
Join EcoRise and fellow New Orleans teachers in a day of learning and collaboration to empower your students to solve sustainability challenges on your campus through scientific inquiry, eco-audits, and the use of grant funds for green campus projects.
Using EcoRise's Sustainable Intelligence and Design Studio curricula, we'll collect data and tackle an environmentally-themed design challenge. We'll also explore exemplary student projects that have been funded by EcoRise's Student Innovation Fund, complete a mock grant application, and network with experienced teachers to create an action plan that you can take back to your classroom and implement right away.
This workshop is for current K-12 teachers. New and experienced EcoRise teachers from all content areas are welcome! EcoRise teachers in Louisiana have access to the Sustainable Intelligence Program through the generous support of the EPA Region 6.
