Hello all, As you may know the theme of this year's ESA annual meeting is "Enhancing Ecological Thought by Linking Research and Education". ESA is planning a "High School Educators' Ecological Literacy and Research Day" that will take place on Wednesday (August 6, 2008) during the meeting, focusing on how high school educators can integrate ecological literacy and research into their teaching practice.
In conjunction with teacher day we are compiling a teacher resource packet with lesson plans, lab protocols, student materials, websites, CD-ROMs, DVDs, data sets, and inquiry tools--anything useful to teach ecology or environmental studies. If you have any resources you wish to share or recommend from use in your own classroom, please email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you to all who have already contributed. Additionally, do you know any HS teachers or informal educators who would want to come to "Teacher Day"?* * There are still spots available!
