Event Description

Professional development to engage educators in ecological restoration and water stewardship rooted in Indigenous knowledge.
 
Community members, college students, scientists, natural resource specialists, and K-16 teachers are welcome to four-day institutes throughout WI!
 
Earth Partnership Indigenous Arts and Sciences (IAS) seeks to:
  • Bring people together interested in linking environmental and health concerns to academic achievement in science, math, social studies, language and the arts.
  • Integrate Indigenous perspectives and experience with Earth Partnership’s ecological restoration education programs.
  • Partner with communities to broaden participation and generate enthusiasm among Native youth to become the next generation of environmental stewards.
  • Address the needs of K-12 educators for culturally accurate and authentic resources across the curriculum to fulfill Act 31 requirements (institute includes pathway to remove Act 31 license stipulation).
  • Connections to NGSS, Common Core, and WI Academic Standards in Environmental Literacy & Sustainability, English Language Arts, and Social Studies.
