A Watershed for Every Classroom
A Watershed for Every Classroom is a year-long supported professional development program for educators in the Lake Champlain Basin of New York, Vermont, and Quebec.
The stories of the Lake Champlain Basin offer multiple ways to teach all subjects; engage students in learning about their community; and provide a way to integrate content, service, and a sense of belonging to their home place. In A Watershed for Every Classroom, we'll explore how people, places, and things tell the stories of our region. You'll offer your students the opportunity to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of content, community engagement, and sense of place. The program is best suited for educators working with grades 4-9, but is applicable to all subject areas and grades.
This program is presented by the Champlain Basin Education Initiative, a community of organizations engaged in watershed education.
