LSSI Celebration (date/location TBA)
May 2009:
Lake Superior Youth Symposium, May 14-17, 2009 |
|
The Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative (LSSI) will focus on Lake Superior and its watershed—both the built and natural environment. The Initiative incorporates three strategies:
(1) Implementing 'place-based curricula' in the classroom that engages students in learning about their community, cultural heritage, local watershed, and the Great Lakes;
(2) Providing teacher-training and student programs that increase content knowledge about the Great Lakes and opportunities for students to visit and learn about Lake Superior, tributary streams, wetlands, forests, and other outdoor environments near their schools;
(3) Developing school-community partnerships with local units of government and community organizations to address local needs by working together on local stewardship projects.
