Chicago Field Office Provides Teacher Training Regarding Wetlands, Watersheds and Water Quality
Midwest Region, September 30, 2004
Print Friendly Version
The Chicago Field Office provides teacher training as part of its mission to accomplish the conservation of fish and wildlife and their habitats. Training involves conducting 4-8 hour workshops, with teachers participating in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. In addition, the teachers receive various educational materials which help them develop units of study that correlate to the state learning standards. These workshops are hosted by local partners who can provide facilities such as classrooms and natural areas. Partners include county forest preserves, village park districts, local school districts, and nature centers throughout the greater Chicago area. In fiscal year 2004, the Chicago Office's Environmental Education Specialist conducted three workshops with a total attendance of 57 educators. Workshop attendees included pre-school, elementary, middle and high school teachers. These educators could conceivably teach thousands of students throughout their careers in this metro area.
