The Calumet Environmental Education Program offers educators a system of professional development, designed to meet the short- and long-term needs of its teachers. Educators participating in CEEP experience a multitude of professional development opportunities, including trainings, skills workshops, technological training and participant evaluation. These opportunities are offered to all educators from Washington High School and it’s feeder elementary schools to support the development of knowledge and skills in all educators participating in this continuum.
The Calumet Environmental Education Program professional development offerings are based on Before It’s Too Late, A Report to the Nation from The National Commission on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 21st Century and Project 2061, a long-term initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science working to reform K-12 science, mathematics, and technology education nationwide. To learn more about these two initiatives, check out their websites, http://www.project2061.org/about/ and http://www.ed.gov/americacounts/glenn/Resource Mailings
Check out past issues of the CEEP Resource Mailings, designed to provide educators and students with additional content information on Calumet environmental issues to guide their conservation education research and action projects. Past issues focused on topics such as biodiversity, invasive species and Calumet habitats.
