Professional Development for "Lessons from the Land" | "Lessons from the Land" home page

"Lessons from the Land" is now in thirty classrooms across Southeast Michigan. We invite areas teachers to join a growing community of educators who are using this program to meet standards and boost student achievement. Professional development workshops provide participants with the complete “Lessons from the Land” curriculum with the goal of preparing them to integrate the materials into their classroom teaching. To date we have held three workshops: January 2006, February 2007, and August 2007.

Upcoming workshops:

We are tentatively planning another workshop for 2008 aimed at preparing teachers and youth workers to use the "Lessons from the Land" curriculum. Interested educators should contact Susan Santone: email: santone@creativechange.net.

Schools can also schedule their own "Lessons from the Land" workshop by contacting Susan Santone at the address above.

The "Lessons from the Land" curriculum was developed with funding from the Washtenaw County Department of Planning and Environment, the James A. and Faith Knight Foundation, the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, and the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. Creative Change thanks these and other program partners.
