Open to all VCPS elementary teachers.  
Calling ALL Virginia Beach Elementary School Teachers! In these times of uncertainty, developing safe and meaningful learning experiences can be challenging, especially while we are teaching virtually. In this course we invite you to explore how to develop Meaningful Watershed Educational Experiences (MWEE’s) and how to bring those hands-on experiences to students while teaching from home. We will help you cultivate an understanding of some Bay101 watershed facts, including, the importance of critters that live and thrive in our local waterways, some basic watershed information as well as delving into our current state of the bay. We will discover how we impact our local watersheds, and things that can be done in our backyards, community neighborhoods and schoolyards to help improve our local tributaries, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. This course will start August 10 but the 5 days will take place throughout the 2020-2021 school year.

Length & Location: 5 total; virtual 
Cost: $50 due to support from local funders. 
Credit: Virginia teachers are eligible for documentation of 45 contact hours for successful course completion.
 Pre-Course Orientation date coming soon.
