SUMMARY:Great Lakes Watershed Field Course Application Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to engage students in local environmental issues\, investigate solutions\, partner with stakeholders\, develop a plan\, and take action! The Great Lakes Watershed Field Course (GLWFC) is a yearlong collaboration that includes a 4-day\, in-person professional development experience and ongoing support during the 2026-2027 school year as you engage your students in environmental action civics and facilitate a student-led action project. Training in the course includes watershed and environmental concepts\, place-based education and environmental education pedagogy\, and time for curriculum development. \nDuring the 4-day experience in Suttons Bay\, you’ll become part of a network of 30 like-minded educators who are passionate about the Great Lakes. As you learn and live together on the Inland Seas campus\, you’ll build new lasting connections that can follow you into the future as you share resources and support each other. \nThe GLWFC is open to formal and non-formal educators who teach in the Great Lakes region. Teachers in all subject areas and grade levels are welcome\, but participants are required to facilitate the implementation of a watershed-focused action project with a group of students. \nMany hands are needed to care for the Great Lakes. We strive to increase the diversity of races\, cultures\, abilities\, ages\, beliefs\, sexual identities\, and genders represented in stewarding the Great Lakes. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Julie Johnson at jjohnson@schoolship.org. \nThe workshop is held August 4-7\, 2026\, but applications are due April 13\, 2026. \nInterested teachers can apply HERE. \nLearn more at schoolship.org/great-lakes-watershed-field-course.
