Herring Gut Learning Center: Fresh to Salt: Flowing Together Program
Herring Gut Learning Center located in Port Clyde, Maine is offering the Fresh to Salt: Flowing Together program that will connect your middle school science teachers, students, community, and businesses within shared watersheds from interior Maine to the coastal regions. This project focuses on the science of both human and climate influences on your river’s watershed health.
Teachers enrolled in this program will attend a tuition free week-long professional learning workshop in June 2021 on the campus of Herring Gut Learning Center. All lessons, necessary equipment and orientation to the program’s exclusive interactive website will be included. This website includes a portal for students to share data and pictures as well as participate in collaborative forums.
HGLC educators will provide support to enrolled teachers during the following school year. Students in the Fresh to Salt program will investigate the importance of access to clean water, the factors limiting this access, and be provided opportunities to become stewards of their environment.
Please share the attached program description and materials with the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade science teachers at your school. Enrollment in this program is FREE for teachers, with the exclusion of lodging and evening meals during the week-long professional learning workshop. Enrollment is limited to 12 teachers from the Kennebec Watershed region for the 2021-2022 cohort.
