Teachers study aquatic ecology at Shaw Nature Reserve Summer 2010

Do you want to learn how to do inquiry with your students, and how to assess inquiry-based lessons? Are you interested in learning about different energy sources and sustainability? Would you like to create an outdoor classroom at your school? Could technology help your students really get involved in their studies? Would you like to become more comfortable in the outdoors—even learn to paddle a canoe?

If you answered “YES!” to any of these questions the Missouri Botanical Garden, along with Shaw Nature Reserve, EarthWays Center, and Litzsinger Road Ecology Center are offering you that chance this summer.
