Teachers on the Estuary - Preparing for Climate Impacts Through Stewardship
NOAA Planet Stewards, Elkhorn Slough and South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERRS) are hosting a simultaneous three-day workshop for educators about the impacts of global climate change on estuaries and their adjacent communities along the Pacific Coast, and how to engage their schools and communities to take action to address regional impacts of this global phenomenon.
Participants will spend three days at either Oregon’s South Slough or California’s Elkhorn Slough NERR learning climate change and watershed content, taking part in field experiences, and learning how to incorporate these topics and stewardship actions into their classrooms and communities.
Workshop topics include:
- Climate change science and climate change activities that meet NGSS
- Citizen science and hands-on stewardship to inspire youth to address regional environmental impacts, and mobilize action in their communities
Workshop features:
- Opportunities to learn from and interact with subject matter experts
- Hands-on field investigations with a NOAA researcher
- In-depth information about estuaries and other coastal systems
- Activities and lessons designed around climate change topics and issues
- Light continental breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included each day of the workshop
- Educators will receive resources for their class and field work
- $200 stipend upon full completion of the workshop.
