Project Description: APNEP supported a summer teacher-training program through the Environmental Education Fund. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resource’s Office of Environmental Education administered this program, and has done so for several years to great acclaim. Through the Institute, participating teachers received intensive support from an established network of educational partners to provide inquiry, experiential, and research based instructional techniques. In addition, each teacher received instructional materials including curriculum-related videos, maps, posters, books, and other support materials for use with their students. The Summer Institute provided hands-on activities, site visits and investigations, technology applications, and standard course of study curriculum support for teachers.
