Watershed for Every Classroom is a year-long, 11-day professional development experience for K-12 teachers. In a supportive, collaborative, and fun environment, we explore the many different ecological and cultural stories of the Lake Champlain Basin. Teachers test for water quality, visit farms, paddle waterways, look out over mountaintops, tour urban areas, and much more as they learn ways to engage students in the many issues that face our watershed. A preliminary agenda is now available.
The educational program is put on by the Champlain Basin Education Initiative (CBEI). The partners include the Lake Champlain Committee, Shelburne Farms, the Lake Champlain Basin Program, Sea Grant, ECHO and others working to promote environmental and place-based education throughout the Lake Champlain watershed. Since 1992, more than 650 educators have participated in CBEI workshops and forums.
