Description
Belize presents an incredible opportunity to study fragile ecosystems and astonishing phenomena in a country at the crossroads of environmental change and preservation. On your Belizean adventure, you'll conduct research in the Maya Mountains and explore the phenomena of the Belize Barrier Reef as you create new, original lessons steeped in inquiry-driven learning strategies.
Tuition includes onsite transportation and room and board. Interested participants can receive 4 graduate credits through the University of Montana for participating in this course. Separate registration and tuition fee are required.
What will you gain?
On all of EPI's Professional Development programs, we teach progressive, inquiry-based methods that will allow you to introduce more exploration into your classroom while still meeting those testing requirements. Best of all, we model the methods we teach. Our programs take you into the field. You'll work with scientists and wildlife. This is your chance to explore. You'll return to the classroom with a new set of tools, ideas, and lessons that will inspire your students. All trainings are aligned with the NGSS.
