EarthCARE, An Environmental Education Partnership ™

University of Ottawa

June 30, 2008

EarthCARE was invited to participate in Ottawa University's Transition to Practice Conference: 'Environmental Education' on April 23, 2008.

Over thirty keen new teachers attended the workshop presented by Rose-Marie Batley, Executive Director of EarthCARE Canada and Doris Davidson, Project Coordinator for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

The workshop challenged the participants to create a culture of environmental stewardship and caring in their classroom. Discussion and activities focused on what a 'green classroom' looks like, sounds like, and behaves like and how to include environmental issues in daily school life.
