Teacher Enhancement Training Program
For several years, The Mountain Institute ran a series of Teacher
Enhancement Workshops at our Spruce Knob Mountain Center. K-12 teachers
from across West Virginia and the country came for multi-day trainings
in Environmental Science and Cultural Heritage. Below are images taken
from those sessions. Currently TMI hosts a three day teacher training as
part of a long term watershed education program, Potomac Stream Samplers:
Caring for Our Watersheds from the Mountains to the Sea. Continue to check
this site as more teacher enhancement opportunities become available in
the future!
August 6-8, 2007: Potomac Stream

at Blister Swamp. |
|
|
| Having fun can be the secret ingredient to a
successful lesson! |
|
|
| Teachers work together to create their own lesson
plans and then practice on each other. |
|
|
| Much emphasis is placed on 'doing' rather
than lecturing and workshops are designed to get teachers outside. |

to determine the age of a grove of Red Pine |

|
| Special guest intructors, such as locally renown
botanist Robert Hunsucker, are brought in to enhance the experience. |
